EML516 Advanced English Language 1 (12)
Abstract|
Advanced English Language 1 aims to develop students’ competence in understanding and using English to communicate in a variety of contexts. It is designed to lay the foundations of functional grammar, discourse, syntax, pronunciation and lexical development for the production of written and spoken English in a range of personal and professional contexts. Subject content is multidisciplinary by nature with a focus on how language is used to convey meaning. A variety of text types will be utilised to analyse genre, purpose, structure, register and specific items of language. Spoken texts will also investigate non-verbal elements, such as gesture, facial expression and intonation, essential to effective communication. The subject aims to foster and support learner autonomy through developing strategies in self directed learning. |
