The main aim of the course is to improve students' writing and speaking skills. We will be giving each of the skills equal weighting, sometimes focusing purely on the oral dimension (e.g. presentation and rhetoric techniques, paraphrasing skills), sometimes devoting our time to writing (e.g. organising paragraphs, basic essay structure, style). Underpinning this course will be the attempt to develop both sets of skills together wherever possible (e.g. student presentations followed by written expansions and vice versa). A further principle within this framework will be the encouragement of students' self-evaluation and peer correction. As is the case with all language practice courses of this module, grammar and lexis will be reviewed and practised where necessary. |
