Today's 21st century work and learning environments demand an accurate, fluent, and flexible range of contextually appropriate communication skills. This course develops students' capacity to communicate clearly and appropriately in English, to meet the more complex communication demands of tertiary studies in nursing, laws, or research, in both face-to-face and digital environments to a near native-like level, benchmarked to at least 73 on the Pearson Test of Academic English (PTE) at the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) C1+ level. It also aims to enable students to prepare to meet future registration requirements of a range of professional disciplines.

In this course, activities in English have been organised for the development of near native-like academic writing and speaking processes, purposes, attitudes, and strategies that enable the expression of `voice' and support the construction and delivery of a range of sophisticated academic texts for specific purposes and audiences. In this course, focus is given to constructing texts used in a range of academic contexts, which could include critical and descriptive essays, interviews, reports, presentations, literature reviews, discussions, seminars, and reconstruction of lecture notes, in both traditional and digital education contexts.

On successful completion of this course students will:

1. Compose and deliver clear and sophisticated exploration of a wide range of topical issues or specific questions in a range of written and spoken texts, both individually and in groups, for specific academic purposes and audiences at a near native-like level, benchmarked to at least 73 on the Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE) and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) C1+ level.
2. Justify claims on a wide range of topics and issues in sophisticated written and spoken texts with independent critical analysis and a range of academic sources and data for an unknown questioning reader and listener at a near native-like level, benchmarked to at least 73 on the Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE) and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) C1+ level.
3. Select and apply appropriate structural and functional academic English language features flexibly to produce a range of sophisticated written and spoken academic texts for an academic audience at a near native-like level, benchmarked to at least 73 on the Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE) and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) C1+ level.
