English as an Additional Language

Pre-course tasks to be completed by September 2023

Recommended activities

You should already have covered all the grammatical structures at an Intermediate/B1/B2 level. It would be a good idea to revisit this grammar before starting your 6th form studies. I would recommend working through English Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy to fill any gaps you may have.

You should have reached the level now where language progression involves many fun activities. Make sure you do some or preferably all of the following every week:

• read in English for pleasure. Choose a writer you enjoy and read the novel in English

• keep up with current affairs by listening to the news in English

• watch as many films and TV series as you can (with or without subtitles)
