Foundation English – Intermediate The Foundation English course is designed to equip learners (students) with the essential English language skills needed to communicate effectively in class as well at their future workplace. The Foundation English course is mapped to the ACT English Proficiency Programme (EPP) that consists of three levels of English proficiency: • Elementary: Modules EPP 1A and EPP 1B (equivalent to IELTS 2.5 to 3 .5) • Intermediate: Modules EPP 2A and EPP 2B (equivalent to IELTS 3.5 to 4 .5) • Advanced: Modules EPP 3A and EPP 3B (equivalent to IELTS 4.5 to 6 .0) The broad aims of the course are for learners (students) to: • Develop skills and abilities to effectively use English for international communication. • Identify and develop skills and strategies for more effective language learning and learning ‘how to learn’. • Develop overall competence in English with the emphasis on the macro skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. • Develop an awareness and understanding of the culture of English-speaking people. This Intermediate-level English course focuses on establishing a robust foundation to transition learners from basic to independent language users by deepening their ability to communicate confidently in a variety of social and academic contexts that are aligned with CEFR A2 (IELTS 3 .5) and B1 (IELTS 4 .5) levels. The course will use ACT EPP’s materials and activities, which are aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR) .
