Level 1 Functional Skills English (TQUK)

There are 3 modules to the course:

Reading – you will be given texts to read and questions to answer. We will look at facts and opinions, finding the main points in a text, language and organisational features and comparing texts.

Speaking, Listening and Communication – you will take part in discussions with your classmates and you will prepare and deliver a brief presentation on a topic of your choosing. We will look at asking and answering questions, expressing opinions and picking up on the main points in a presentation.

Writing – you will be given writing tasks to complete. We will look at spelling, punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, layout, tone, style and proofreading.

There is an exam at the end of each of the three modules.

An initial assessment will be conducted to ensure you are studying at the most appropriate level for you.

On completion of Level 1, some students will go on to Level 2. Completing Level 1 English also opens the door to our suite of Level 2 vocational/employability courses, including distance learning courses.
