The programme targets students’ needs for better transferability of skills, enables them to successfully complete their course of study, and increases their opportunities for future mobility. Throughout the duration of this 12 ECTS programme, students are provided with a safe space in which to take risks while experimenting with their linguistic skills.
Classroom sessions act as the ideal context in which to use English. The programme aims to empower students by enhancing communication in English, fostering a positive attitude towards the language, building student confidence, and encouraging independent learning. Guided by these aims, the programme seeks to guarantee effective language learning. Fundamentally, the programme is driven by a clear vision that promotes lifelong self-improvement and moves away from a deficit orientation.
Our Centre is aware of the fast-changing demands placed on students both prior to university entry and throughout their chosen course, as well as the pressure on being career ready. Effective oral and written communication is considered one of the key areas dominating 21st century education. Clarity and conciseness are at the core of effective communication, and these are some of the key skills that are directly addressed by the programme through continuous targeted practice until mastery is achieved.
