Overview
Language does not exist in isolation; it is used in both social and professional contexts to facilitate actions/needs/wants and to achieve specific goals or tasks.
The emphasis of this course is not only on Academic English language use but also the critical skills and pedagogical areas within Higher Education where it is used.
The MU programme, taught via English as a medium of instruction (EMI), will expose participants to a wide variety of Academic English lexis and metalanguage (the language of teaching) used in some of the most relevant areas of Higher Education today.
This will facilitate a fully authentic teaching and learning context, where participants acquire through usage new linguistic content in Academic English.
