Module details for 2024/25.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 5
Module Outline
Building on existing levels of proficiency at B1+– B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference [CEFR] the module aims to:
- Enable students to understand the main ideas within standard and complex speech and texts and to communicate effectively in the target language (TL) in a variety of contexts;
- Provide opportunities, across a selected variety of topics and themes, for participation in advanced level communicative language activities (e.g. listening, reading, speaking, writing, interaction, and mediation);
- Consolidate and develop the range of complex elements of language structures, syntax, and specialised vocabulary to support consistent accuracy and control in use of the TL;
- Facilitate the exploration, and analysis of a special subject linked to the student’s chosen field of interest.
This module is at level B2 (Independent User) of the CEFR for languages.
