The aims of this module are threefold: Firstly, to enhance each student’s ability and willingness to read a variety of texts, and to pro-actively seek opportunities to do so. Secondly, to develop the ability to discriminate between pieces of information in order to extract significant data features for future memory and action. Thirdly, students will increase their sensitivity to both the formal structural rules of grammar, and to use such linguistic knowledge to construct coherent accounts of their ideas, thinking strategies and conclusions, for others to share.
