The course aims to increase students' awareness of cultural information and social conventions in countries where the target language is spoken. Learning Outcomes: On completion of the course, students are able to * Enter unprepared into conversation on topics that are familiar, of personal interest or pertinent to everyday life. * Give detailed information on personal experiences. * Briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans. * Understand the main points of clear standard speech on familiar matters. * Understand text that consists mainly of high frequency everyday language * Write short connected text on topics that are familiar or of personal interest using basic structures accurately. * Write brief essays or letters describing experiences, feelings and events in detail. * Write brief reports, which pass on routine factual information and state reasons for actions. Skills: Speaking, Reading, Listening and Writing in the target language - all assessed Interpersonal skills, communication, team skills - facilitated IT skills - facilitated Intercultural skills - facilitated and taught Autonomous learning - facilitated Research and organisational skills - facilitated Cognitive - taught. Content: The course continues to build on the skill base achieved, for example in the two Stage 1 units, through the four core skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. The course reproduces real-life scenarios and encourages the spontaneous use of language when talking about family, hobbies, work, travel and recent personal events. It follows a graded programme of study. Previous learning is consolidated and additional grammatical structures and phrases are introduced and practised enabling students to refer to the past, the present and the future and to link a series of discrete elements into a linear sequence. Students are required to demonstrate a degree of grammatical control in speaking and writing. |
