Academic English: Communication Fundamentals

CCOF001

Discover the nature of effective written and spoken communication in academic contexts, and build your skills reading academic texts. You will examine what makes academic communication different from communication in other contexts and discover some of the ‘hidden rules’ through the study of ‘principles of academic communication'. Putting these principles into practice, you will analyse and reflect on your own written and spoken communication throughout your course.

In addition, you have the opportunity to practice effective reading with academic journal articles and other published resources. Apply these frameworks and concepts to your required readings for ‘Communication and Citizenship’ (CCAC001), your spoken and written assessments, as well as in your future tertiary studies.
