¾«¶«´«Ã½app students need to produce spoken language that is fully comprehensible and clearly understood and be able to comprehend spoken texts from others. This course develops students’ capacity to comprehend and produce spoken texts clearly and appropriately in English at an advanced level, to meet the more complex communication demands of tertiary studies in nursing, laws, and research, in both face to face and digital environments. It is benchmarked to either a score of at least 58 on the Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE) or the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) C1 level to enable students to prepare to meet future registration requirements of a range of professional disciplines. It also serves as a prerequisite for EUS1006 Listening and Speaking Fluently 2.

In this course, activities in English have been organised to develop students' capacity to interact independently with fluency and spontaneity in speech at an advanced level with native speakers of English in face to face and digital academic contexts. Focus is given to speaking and listening in both structured and unstructured spoken texts, with a particular emphasis on developing pronunciation skills for reducing communicative strain for all interlocutors.
