This module will familiarise students with the generic English language skills and conventions sufficient to cope with independent study at undergraduate level, i.e. equivalent to minimum B2 (CEFR) level. Students will be able to speak individually and interact with others on familiar academic topics, conveying the general message in most contexts, follow the argument of lectures and other longer stretches of speech on familiar academic topics, understand a range of academic texts and complete a variety of tasks based on them, and cope with written assignments at the undergraduate level.
