Summary module description:

This is the first module for the 39-week Pre-sessional English Language Programme designed for students who are entering the Programme at a pre-intermediate level of English language proficiency and will study Academic English for one year before starting their degree programme. The module aims to equip students with a foundation of general and academic language competency which will enable them to engage successfully with the academic English modules delivered from January to September.

Assessable learning outcomes:

Because this module is delivered early within in a Pre-sessional English language programme, Learning Outcomes measure progress towards, rather than programme exit levels of, academic language proficiency and skill.

Outline content:

A reputable published English for Academic Purposes textbook series will be drawn on for this foundational-level module, the National Geographic Pathways Level 1 (A2-B1) Listening, Speaking and Critical Thinking and Reading, Writing and Critical Thinking textbooks. A course map will be designed to work through these materials and more details will be provided in a later draft of this module description.

Global context:

This module supports internationalisation at Reading by facilitating successful and equal inclusion of students whose first language is not English in UK degree programme study.

Brief description of teaching and learning methods:

This module will take a task-based integrated approach to developing the receptive and productive general and academic language knowledge and skills.

Formative assessment methods:

There is no summative assessment in this module. A portfolio of receptive and productive work will be used to develop students' language skills and to provide feedback on their progress.

Penalties for late submission:

The Support Centres will apply the following penalties for work submitted late: where the piece of work is submitted after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): 10% of the total marks available for that piece of work will be deducted from the mark for each working day (or part thereof) following the deadline up to a total of five working days; where the piece of work is submitted more than five working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.The University policy statement on penalties for late submission can be found at: -/media/project/functions/cqsd/documents/cqsd-old-site-documents/penaltiesforlatesubmission.pdf

You are strongly advised to ensure that coursework is submitted by the relevant deadline. You should note that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished state rather than to fail to submit any work.
