The four courses that constitute this programme run concurrently for the duration of the programme. Each course integrates the main language skills, language systems and learner competencies, and the content will be based in subjects/themes that are consistent across the courses to enable continuity for students, but each course has its key focus in terms of learning outcomes and assessment. 

The delivery methods are adequate and appropriate, given the stated learning outcomes for the programme. Where specific resources are necessary for the programme to be provided, those resources are clearly outlined. 

A learner-centred approach to education is used. There is an emphasis on the constructivist theory of learning, where the learner’s role is active rather than passive, with the teacher as facilitator. In this approach, assessment is both for and of learning, using a mix of formative and summative assessment with an emphasis on authentic assessment.
