    Description

    “Integrated Skills”

    The second year Advanced English Programme Courses (Autumn: “Informal Spoken English”; Spring: “Integrated Skills”) provide practical work intended to help BAS1 students refine their speaking, reading, writing and oral comprehension skills to develop secure use of English in the modern adult public and professional world. ‘Integrated Skills’ focuses on the ability to speak critically about specialized topics using an extended range of vocabulary specific to the given topic (ex. gastronomy, artificial intelligence, political/historical issues, etc.). Students will improve in their ability to employ meta-linguistic awareness to help refine their English. The principal course project will be to plan and lead one extended guided activity with specific outcomes (language focus and skills). This will entail preparing a detailed outline including background information on the topic, conducting the activity with appropriate instruction and guidance, conducting a feedback session with peers, and writing a follow-up reflection.
    Training objectives
    • Read, speak, and listen to English to gain increased confidence and fluency
    • Expand informal and formal range of vocabulary including collocations
    • Identify and practice linguistic features particular to specialized topics
    • Gain confidence in leading peers in an extended guided activity with a clear aim
    • Refine writing skills (writing coherently, having a specific purpose and audience in mind, using correct grammar and vocabulary)
    • Write a detailed and well-edited/revised outline
    • Acquire and practice meta-linguistic strategies to help further (and personalize) the acquisition of English
