Course Name: THE FOUNDATION OF ENGLISH II

Course Code: UB0023

Course Synopsis: This course aims to equip students with the advanced skills needed for academic reading. A variety of texts from a range of disciplines will be used as materials in teaching this module. Students will be taught to use strategies that will be useful to them when reading academic texts related to their main course of study. They will be taught to present their ideas to an audience. This module also aims to teach students’ listening comprehension of both formal and informal situations. Skills to be taught are recalling information, paraphrasing, predicting outcomes, distinguishing facts from opinions, summarizing and drawing conclusion.
