Academic English Courses
What to expect
Academic reading and writing
It should come as no surprise that as a student you are expected to write essays, reports and other written assignments. Through developing your academic writing style, you will be able to evaluate existing arguments and theories in your subject whilst presenting your own argument. Firstly, though, you will need to engage with academic sources to build your arguments and so developing your academic reading skills is crucial.
Listening and speaking
When developing your academic and listening skills you will learn how to take notes and extract the information you need from classroom teaching and academic sources sensibly and efficiently. Furthermore, you will develop your academic speaking skills to effectively communicate, debate and present academic arguments.
Language and development
To successfully engage in class, you will need to develop an advanced vocabulary range and build your knowledge of grammar. Through language development you will need to enhance your writing skills by applying things such as prefixes and synonyms, your verbal skills will also improve as you are able to provide better spoken responses.
According to a 2014 Oxford University report, the teaching of English around the world is on the increase, and as the Harvard Business Review states, English remains a top priority for the world’s fastest-growing markets as it is a common language international companies use to communicate. In light of this, the demand for English language proficiency remains high for employers and is vital in taking advantage of new opportunities in this interconnected world and realising your potential.
