It aims to place participants at an adequate proficiency threshold to begin receiving instruction in more complex language skills (i.e. Social, Business and Academic English skills).

The Communication Skills module is designed to complement the Foundation English module, and to further develop participants’ speaking skills, along with their pronunciation and discourse competencies. Its main objective is to develop participants’ confidence in using the target language for daily communication and academic work.
