Summary

This module develops the four skills of reading, listening, speaking and writing to enable students to gather and process information accurately and quickly through discussion, from radio and TV and from written sources.

A single multiskilled assessment will replace all failed assessment components at the reassessment stage.




Classes are conducted in the Target Language and focus on contemporary topics which aim to give students an up-to-date insight into those countries where the Target Language is spoken. A review of relevant grammar is also undertaken.

Educational Aims

This module aims to consolidate and extend the students' knowledge of the subject by developing the four main language skills of speaking, writing, reading and listening. Special emphasis will be put on developing more sophisticated oral and written skills, enabling the students to deal proficiently and accurately with real-life situations (such as information-retrieval from written and spoken sources, résumé- and report-writing in the Target Language).

Learning Outcomes

The course involves working in small groups and thus helps in the development of presentation skills, interaction and organisation.

Practice is offered in summary writing and the ability to present a coherent argument or explanation.

Time management is important and the topics chosen increase cultural awareness.
