skills and academic
discussion so as to help
students express opinions
and arguments clearly and
concisely
-
improve students’ expertise
in writing and extended
writing (essays, reports
etc)
-
make students quick and
effective readers
-
provide opportunities for
listening to native
speakers, lectures, etc. and
for practising notetaking
-
develop students’
grammatical competence
-
expand vocabulary, idiomatic
and social language skills
-
familiarise students with
London, the British way of
life and the academic
environment
