Summary
This module builds on the introductory work of stage 1a. The student is taught to understand and produce written and spoken information in topics not covered in the Autumn semester. The four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking are covered together with a study of the grammar involved in using the language at this level. A single multi skilled assessment will replace all failed assessment components at the reassessment stage.
