Hello! In this video, I'll explain to you the different options you have when you
take your second LCR subject.
OK!
We have four subjects you can take:
Each subject has a different focus
as you will find out in the next few minutes.
So, listen carefully and choose
the subject which most suits your preference.
First, let's look at ELC2011 -
Advanced English Reading and Writing Skills.
Whilst English is certainly an
important language to master for work and study,
it's also a window to an
exciting world of storytelling, poetry, philosophy, media, politics and more.
In ELC2011, you will engage with a variety of genres and be guided to develop both
a reflective and a critical approach to the texts you encounter.
You will also learn to express your own voice through a feature article on a topic of your
choice and even publish it.
This subject has been growing in popularity and
students rate it very highly.
If you like exploring the world of
reading and writing, then ELC2011 is for you.
Next, let's look at ELC2012 - Persuasive Communication.
Your ability to persuade
people to do what you want is a vital skill for your success in your studies,
career and life.
This subject will improve your ability to persuade through
speech, writing and argumentation.
You will listen to great speakers, analyse
their persuasive techniques and use them to win people over.
You will also learn
about the science of persuasion and how to apply it in your daily life.
Students rate this subject very highly and comment about how useful the persuasive
techniques are for their university life and beyond.
If you want to be more persuasive,
then ELC2012 is what you should choose.
Next is ELC2013 - English in Literature and Film.
In this course, you will read and discuss different
literary genres in English and compare literary works to their film interpretations.
You will reflect on your thoughts and experiences, share your
ideas and be inspired by different points of view.
Don't worry about not
having a background in literature. All you need is curiosity and a love of
reading and watching films.
You'll learn the rest with your teacher and classmates.
By the end of the course, many students express their amazement at how
articulate and confident they have become when presenting their point of view.
If you are a fan of English literature
and good movies then we suggest you choose ELC2013.
Finally, there's ELC2014 Advanced English for University Studies.
Your skills in producing
coherent written and spoken texts are essential for academic success.
This subject will develop your ability to research, organise and write logical
position based essays. You'll learn to present and justify
perspectives in an oral defense and academic discussion.
You'll also learn to
evaluate academic texts and to select information critically
in order to present persuasive and coherent arguments.
This well-established course
is highly rated for its effectiveness in improving academic English in all four language skills.
So, if you want to further improve your academic English,
ELC2014 is the choice for you.
