Stage 4 – Pathway to Further Studies

Stage 4: Pathway to Further Studies

Level C1

Stage 4 of our program equips students with the necessary English language and 21st century skills to succeed on a university course in an English speaking country. Students learn to communicate effectively in English in academic contexts so that they can engage with the educational culture of third level institutions and excel in an undergraduate or postgraduate program.

Learner Outcomes

By the end of the course, participants will have improved their communication, collaboration, creative problem solving, and critical thinking skills. This will enable them to do the following in English and through technology in personal, professional and academic contexts:

1. Understand with ease virtually everything heard or read.
2. Summarise information from different spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments and accounts in a coherent presentation
3. Express him/herself spontaneously, very fluently and precisely, differentiating finer shades of meaning even in more complex situations
4. Produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex academic subjects, showing controlled use of organisational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices
