AE1 : Summative Assessment Schedule:
The Academic English 1 and Academic English 2 courses aim to equip learners with the competencies and skills to access a range of contemporary learning opportunities.
While keeping language literacy at its core, the Academic English curriculum is shaped around five other key literacy streams: cultural, information, critical, digital and assessment. By working through these literacy streams and successfully completing assessment, learners will develop their English language skills to a B2 Independent User on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
When learners successfully exit this course, they will be well-prepared for success in further studies.
Academic English 1 (AE1) and Academic English 2 (AE2) are both 10-week courses, divided into two 5-week modules, with 20 hours of face-to-face teaching and five hours of scheduled independent learning time per week.
AE1: IELTS overall band 4.5, writing 4.5, no other band less than 4.0 (or equivalent)
AE2: IELTS overall band 5.0, writing 5.0, no other band less than 4.5 (or equivalent)
