Course Overview
The General English Summer course helps students to improve their skills, abilities and confidence in using the English language. The course is designed for younger international students who want to immerse themselves in English for self-development, potentially looking at Swansea or UK universities for their undergraduate studies. The focus is on communication within work, study, and everyday life situations. Exact course content depends on students’ entry level, but all students will engage in the following:
- vocabulary development
- development of communicative language skills: reading, writing, listening & speaking
- British, Welsh and university culture
- trips and excursions to local and national locations
- use in context of English grammar
Students will receive language teaching which will be delivered in a fun and communicative method in which they practise speaking, listening, reading and writing. They will also have the opportunity to have classes ad experiences of Welsh and British culture.
All of these skills along with vocabulary and grammar development are embedded and integrated in to the classes and materials provided and you will have an opportunity to practise the language and skills needed to succeed in their studies.
Students will be encouraged to use English when they are on their extra-curricular trips and visits, and become familiar and acculturalised with Wales, the UK and Swansea University.
