A major new course for students who are studying or will need to study wholly or partly in English medium at some point in the future, i.e., pre-sessional students. Skills in English is intended to provide the core programme for pre-sessional courses. For many institutions, the course alone will be sufficient to meet English language teaching needs, eliminating the need to buy a large number of separate books. However, the course can be readily supplemented if required. Targeted specifically at college and university students. The only course on the market designed for pre-sessional students. Designed to teach study skills. Low-level entry point. Skills-based. Skills in English is not designed for use by one specific institution or country.
