Continuing from Autumn, the Academic Listening and Speaking II module is aimed at helping students to further develop their aural and oral skills and language for academic purposes.

The listening component of this module exposes students to a variety of academic content to enable them to expand their academic listening and note-taking skills. The speaking component focuses on refining skills for participation in classroom discussions, seminars and debates, as well as skills required for (individual and group) oral presentations based on research into areas of students’ academic disciplines. The module also offers students the opportunity to further develop their general academic and subject-specific language knowledge and use. Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and develop strategies for improving specific language skills independently.
