ENGL C121
English Language Skills
I 3
ENGL C122 English Language
Skills II 3 |
|
The above two unstructured
courses are designed to raise progressively the level of
proficiency of the normal input to a stage where they can
embark on English language and literature. They are intended
to develop the language skills of listening, speaking,
reading and writing. No student will be permitted to
register in more than one course at a time. The presentation
of the skills courses in the present break-up is not
intended to indicate any sequence. It simply indicates the
total number of units and the related number of hours
spent in the course through formal contact or self-study
only. Thus a student can begin at any one of the courses
with the requirement that for the normal input only one (or
two) of these courses would be needed. From the description
presented above it would be clear that students may register
in any one (or both) of these courses with the proviso that
registration can be done in only one course per semester. |
