FASTL1007 Verbal communication for university
In this unit, students will be equipped with the academic listening and speaking skills to effectively participate in the FAST course. The unit develops students abilities to comprehend and engage with academic discourse through exposure to a variety of learning contexts, spoken academic genres across disciplines, and digital academic tasks. Emphasis is placed on understanding the linguistic features of spoken academic English, participating in formal discussions, and presenting ideas clearly and persuasively, with an academic tone. Students will gain experience in analysing spoken texts, synthesising information from oral sources, and contributing to academic conversations, thereby strengthening their readiness for undergraduate study. The unit scaffolds skills for enabling units and subsequent undergraduate studies through content, skills and knowledge integration.
