This module will introduce students to UK academic culture, and help them acquire the linguistic and academic skills (both oral and written) that will provide a foundation for future success on an undergraduate degree programme. It will help them produce work of the requisite linguistic and academic standard for undergraduate study, focusing in particular on linguistic (syntactic and grammatical) patterns and use of synonymy in academic writing, and cohesion and coherence in essays, with assessment through both course work and exam. Students will write a timed exam essay of 500-600 words and a longer 1500 word Extended Essay as course work within a standard Humanities and Social Sciences framework. The module will include a Portfolio as course work which provides the opportunity for reflection and review/redrafting of writing . Regular formative feedback on writing produced on the module will be imperative in ensuring learning outcomes.
