Overview
The General English (Intermediate to Upper-intermediate) course from the Academies Australasia Teaching Methodology:
The emphasis is on communication. Students of the General English (Intermediate to Upper-intermediate) course at Academies Australasia will have the opportunity to practise what is taught through the use of task-based learning activities. The focus for course content is provided by weekly themes and topics. These provide a framework around which coursework – particularly vocabulary building and the development of the macroskills of speaking, listening, reading and writing – is structured.
We offer modern facilities, including audio-visual equipment and internet access. Being in the centre of the Sydney CBD, we are very well served by public transport and are close to public libraries. The student lounge is well equipped (microwave ovens, vending machines, computers with (free) internet access, etc.)
Programme Structure
Delivery and Assessment Methods- A placement test is usually conducted on the first day. Formal assessment of student achievement is conducted every fortnight of the programme. Each of the macroskills is assessed separately and students are assessed on their range and control of the language in appropriate contexts.
- The types of assessments include multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank questions, writing of various types of texts, short answer questions and paired interviews among others. Students receive detailed feedback on their progress on a fortnightly basis. Our assessment system enables us to give students targeted remedial help in their identified weaknesses.
