IML strongly recommends the use of dictionaries, which exist in a variety of printed, online and
electronic formats. Tutors may recommend a dictionary at the commencement of the course.
Each topic includes relevant social and cultural information
Additional tasks and resources will be provided in class.
The IML library located on level 1 in the Joyce Ackroyd Building also has books, magazines, kits,
CDs, DVDs and videos for loan to IML students.
Revision
Language is learned best with maximum contact and usage. Home exercises will be designed for revision
and consolidation of each course segment. Revision is most effective when undertaken regularly in short
sessions.
Assessment
Assessment is optional at the end of the full year course or equivalent. Listening and Speaking skills are
assessed throughout the course. An examination to assess Reading and Writing competencies is held at the
end of the course and a statement of attainment is then issued. A certificate of attendance is available
upon request for students not undertaking assessment who have attended at least 75% of the course.
Further Study Options
A course in a higher level of this language is not currently offered. Learners wishing to pursue further
