1. Introduction
BENG021 is the second module in the Pre-Degree English course. This semester’s course looks at poetry, academic writing, and comparative film and literature study. The course also builds on the first semester and language and comprehension will be assessed as well in this semester. This pre-degree module is designed to provide student with the foundational skills necessary to pursue tertiary studies at an English-medium institution. It is essential that students at tertiary education level be able to write responses that are logical, meaningful, and informative. Not only does English usage have to be grammatically correct, the ideas expressed in answers must be appropriate and well considered.
Remember: Keep your BENG011 study guide! The language, grammar, and writing you did in BENG011 are tested and applicable in BENG021, and lecturers will not be re-teaching any first semester content.
