LENG1156 English 06
Course Description
English 6 is the seventh and final integrated-skills course of the Basic Cycle in the Academic English Support Program (AESP). At this level, students work on their development of the four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking), and acquire essential grammar structures and vocabulary that will allow them to succeed in academic and social settings. In an attempt to empower students to cope with their most immediate academic need, and similar to the previous and subsequent courses in the Basic Cycle, this course aims to develop a stronger set of reading skills in comparison to the other skills of the language. In fact, the students who pass this level will also be meeting the University Reading requirement. Moreover, critical thinking skills are taught and practiced, requiring students’ reflection and analysis rather than simple recall.
Course Goal
The goal of this course is to demonstrate the analysis and comprehension of academic spoken and written texts while consolidating high order reading strategies to understand authentic academic texts.

Reading: B2+
