Course Option Description

Head of Learning Area (HOLA): Mr G. Charton.

Why this course:   
The aim of the course is continue to build on the English language that students have already acquired while teaching more complex grammar and improving reading, writing, speaking and listening skills to support their learning in mainstream classes. This is not a UE-approved course.

Course information: 
This class is for senior students who have been learning English for several years. Students will be doing mainstream subjects but still need English support and have more English vocabulary and grammar to learn.

In this course students will review all English grammar but at a more complex level. They will learn academic vocabulary, reading for practical purposes and start to develop their research skills. Students will develop their writing for different purposes, such as explanations.

In this course you will learn to:

  • Read, understand and respond to information texts, instructions and explanations.
  • Write information texts, instructions and explanations.
  • Ask for, listen to and give oral information, opinions, instructions and explanations.
  • Take part in discussions and talk about themselves in an interview.
