Academic English

The Academic English (AE) programme is offered at a variety of levels and is designed to prepare students for academic study at tertiary level. Academic English is a successful pathway programme for university foundation studies, including The University of Auckland Certificate in Foundation Studies at Academic Colleges Group (ACG), as well as the Foundation Certificate in English for Academic Purposes (FCert EAP).

The Academic English programme focuses on the language and skills required for successful study at tertiary level, including lectures, seminars, tutorials and research. The programme uses a communicative and integrated approach, and includes:

• Grammar and sentence structure
• Essay and report writing

• Research skills
• Critical thinking
• Listening to lectures and note-taking
• Presentation skills and communication techniques
• Pronunciation

The Academic English programme develops independent learning strategies. Independence is encouraged in the online research component which can be accessed online externally.

Academic English is offered from the Pre-Intermediate level through to Advanced. Each course lasts 10 weeks with 200 contact hours and an additional 20 hours of optional weekly workshops to support the main programme.

Starting at the Intermediate level, Academic English students will have an option to combine the Academic English study with either IELTS Preparation or University Preparation. At the Advanced level, students will have an option to combine the Academic English study with either IELTS Preparation or English for Specific Academic Purposes (ESAP).

IELTS Preparation takes 100 hours of intensive study of key skills and strategies associated with the IELTS exam. University Preparation takes 100 hours of intensive study designed to prepare students with the language and skills to participate in university seminars and tutorials, as well as research skills that culminate in a presentation on their research essay.

English for Specific Academic Purposes will have three streams, based on student demand: Humanities, Commerce, and Science & Engineering. These streams will prepare students for undergraduate or postgraduate study in their chosen faculties. The content of these streams has been developed in conjunction with the faculties and reflects the academic expectations and assignments set by the lecturers.

Certificate In English Language Teaching To Adults (CELTA)

Teaching English to speakers of other languages can be a highly rewarding career, offering you the chance to live and work abroad. The Cambridge CELTA is the most widely recognised initial qualification in teaching English as a foreign language, recognised by language schools in dozens of countries around the world. Over 10,000 candidates gain the qualification each year. It gives you the skills you need and will make it easier to get a teaching job anywhere. Great importance is attached to quality control and this is assured in a number of ways, including approval and moderation by Cambridge ESOL, part of the world famous University of Cambridge.

There are five main units of learning:
ㆍLearners and teachers, and the teaching and learning context
ㆍLanguage analysis and awareness
ㆍLanguage skills: reading, listening, speaking and writing
ㆍPlanning and resources for different contexts
ㆍDeveloping teaching skills and professionalism

For every 6 candidates there is one tutor. Your course:
ㆍteaches the principles of effective teaching
ㆍprovides a range of practical skills for teaching English to adult learners
ㆍgives hands-on teaching practice

Length
ㆍ4 weeks Full-time (Monday to Friday 9-5pm)
ㆍ10 weeks Part-time (Monday 5-8pm, Tuesday and Thursday 5-9pm and three Saturdays 9-4pm)

This course ideally suits people who
ㆍhave a standard of education equivalent to that required for entry into higher education
ㆍbe aged 20 or over
ㆍhave a standard of English which will enable you to teach at a range of levels

Centres may still accept you if you do not have formal qualifications at this level but can demonstrate that you would be likely to complete the course successfully. Some centres may, at their discretion, accept applicants aged between 18 and 20.

Assessment
You will be assessed throughout the course, with no final examination. An external assessor, appointed by Cambridge ESOL, moderates each course. There are two components of assessment:
Teaching practice

The course is very practical in nature with a heavy emphasis placed on performance in observed and assessed teaching practice sessions. Candidates teach six hours of assessed lessons over eight to nine lessons. Teaching practice is completed at two different levels with candidates teaching volunteer groups of students. Assessment is based on overall performance at the end of the 6 hours.

Written assignments
There are four written assignments with a total word count of 3000 words: one focusing on adult learning; one on the language system of English; one on language skills; and one on classroom teaching.

To be awarded the certificate you must pass both components. There are three grades for the certificate-Pass, Pass "B" and Pass "A".

Attendance and Commitment
Candidates need to attend 100% of the course. Absence is allowed in the case of illness or exceptional circumstances, with time missed needing to be made up. Those people considering following a course should ensure that they are free of other commitments during the time of study. A high level of commitment is required of candidates and the course is very demanding.
