The CSWE III is
a general English course designed for students, typically IELTS level 4, who
wish to improve their English language proficiency for study, work or
travel. The flexible nature of the Certificate enables students to focus on
general English skills development or to focus on particular areas such as
listening, speaking, reading or writing, depending on the needs of the
individual student.
The content of
the English program reflects the needs and aspirations of the students,
therefore for those students continuing on to Certificate or Diploma courses
in Commercial Cookery/Patisserie or Hairdressing resources from these
programs are used extensively in their English classes. Students study the
vocabulary and acquire the skills required to be successful in their chosen
courses. Instruction is based on the theory of language which relates
language to the contexts in which it is used, hence lessons are designed to
provide students with “real life” communication situations and to promote
the development of autonomous language learning. The providing of a solid
knowledge base for transition into further education ensures that students
are ready to meet the challenges faced when studying internationally.
In order to receive the Certificate in Spoken and
Written English III a student must complete 2 compulsory modules and 3
elective modules. In the event that the student does not complete all 5
modules a Statement of Attainment is issued for any modules completed or a
Statement of Achievement on completion of any learning outcomes. On
completion of the CSWE III students may enrol in CSWE IV Further Education.

The CSWE IV Further
Education is designed specifically for students who want to continue their
studies at tertiary level and/or wish to sit for an IELTS exam. A typical entry
level would be IELTS 5.0 and above. The focus is on equipping students with the
skills required to study at a tertiary institution in any English speaking
country. The course covers academic writing and reading, which includes planning
and writing of essays, correct referencing convention, critical evaluation and
research skills. Students also study note taking, oral presentation and exam
techniques.
Students intending to
continue their studies at mainstream certificate or diploma level have the
opportunity to use resource materials and experience classes from these courses
while enrolled in the CSWE IV. These opportunities facilitate the transition
from their language course into further study by ensuring that students have the
vocabulary and necessary skills to succeed.
The course consists of 4
modules which are chosen from a possible six, the choice depending on the needs
of the individual.
On completion of 4
modules the student is entitled to receive the Certificate, however in the event
that a student does not complete all 4 modules they are entitled to a Statement
of Attainment, in the case of completed modules; or a Record of Achievement, for
individual learning outcomes.
