Advanced English for Academic Purposes English Language Centre Stage 1 | Level 0

SECTION A: Basic Information

Brief Introduction to the Module

This year-long module aims to develop students' academic English language skills in reading, listening, writing and speaking and better prepare them f or their academic study at XJTLU. In addition to improving their English language skills, students will be encouraged to think critically and engage in i ndependent learning through the module. All knowledge and skills learned and practised in Year One will contribute to their further academic study in the following years at XJTLU.

Key Module Information

SECTION B: What You Can Expect from the Module

Educational Aims of the Module

The module is designed for students demonstrating an approximate CEFR B2 English language proficiency upon entry to XJTLU. These students require 100-200 hours ofguided tuition in order to consolidate and surpass the Year 1 exit level ofCEFR B2 and to develop academic skills for Year 2 studies.

The module willtherefore focus primarily on the consolidation and demonstration ofthe three language systems (grammar, lexis, pronunciation) an d four language skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing). Assessments are weighted towards the end ofthe academic year so that students are a ble to develop suficient linguistic proficiency to demonstrate and surpass CEFR B2. Pastoral skills are also included in the module to enable stude nts to become active and self-directed learners ofEnglish.

Academic skills are included towards the end ofthe module as a medium for assessing linguistic development. These skills are also a fundamental aspect ofYear 1 provision so that students are adequately prepared for the rigours of study in Year 2.

Learning Outcomes

Students completing the module should be able to:

A Employ a range of level-appropriate listening strategies in order to extract meaning fromgraded, non-academic and academic listening materials , and from verbal interactions

B Employ a range of level-appropriate reading strategies in order to extract meaning fromgraded, non-academic, and academic reading materials C Communicate spoken ideas ona range of non-academic and academic topics, and in non-academic and academic situations, with level-approp riate fluency, complexity, and accuracy

D Produce written responses to non-academic and academic tasks with level-appropriate coherence, complexity, and accuracy E Demonstrate awareness and understanding of level-appropriate linguistic forms

F Demonstrate awareness of and ability to utilise a range of academic skills and conventions

Methods of Learning and Teaching

Students will have 8 hours ofguided tuition per week. This time is split into two categories:

• Seminars (2 x 2 hours per week) are used for teaching a range of level-appropriate language and academic skills

• Tutorials (live / asynchronous / flipped) (4 hours per week) are used for focused homework and/or asynchronous activities and student-centred academic learning activities

Students entering the university with a CEFR B2 level of linguistic proficiency require focused and concerted support so that academic tasks may   be satisfactorily completed. Teaching and learning therefore focuses on increasing linguistic input both inside and outside the classroom. The use of both seminars and tutorials permits diferent teaching methods to be utilised during the course to ensure students are given suficient guidance and   opportunities to practice the various skills mentioned in the learning outcomes and syllabus.

The guided self-study activities will be extensions and/or consolidation of work carried out in the seminars and tutorials.
