Communication Skills in English [Intermediate] is the second of the three-level graded courses for the developmental enhancement of communication skills in English. Based on the learning outcomes set in the beginner-level syllabus, this course focuses on giving learners more exposure to the use of language for communicative purposes and equipping them with next-level skills [ref. Bloom's taxonomy] and practice in complexity and cognitive engagement. This course also includes the inferential level of comprehension (listening and reading) that involves analysis and application of language skills and decision-making skills while speaking/writing with an awareness of social and personality-based communication variations. This course emphasizes guided writing through adequate pre- and post-context building tasks. The focus is on the stimulation and application of critical thinking in addition to schematic review for communication in real-life situations.
