The overall aim of our pre-sessional courses is to improve academic English and academic performance. The course will be run by a highly experienced team of English languages professionals and class sizes will be kept small with a maximum of 15-20 students for our academic team to focus on quality of teaching.
At the end of the pre-sessional course, students will have:
- developed English for academic purposes and gained the ability to listen to and communicate complex ideas to a variety of audiences
- developed independent and collaborative academic study skills, enabling them to analyse issues and formulate questions
- expanded their intercultural awareness and gained a better knowledge of IML and London
Students will achieve these outcomes by:
- focusing on strengthening the four skills (listening, reading, writing and speaking) by practicing the language within a genuine academic context (attending academic lectures, reading academic texts and analysing/writing academic essays)
- gaining confidence in academic writing conventions, including in-text citations, referencing, direct quotation and compiling bibliographies
- studying material with a discipline-specific content (fashion and design)
- developing creative and critical thinking skills through debating and evaluating complex ideas.
Students will undertake both a formative and summative assessment (KITE English proficiency test).
