ATS1340 ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES WORKBOOK 1 Issue 3

1. Complete the preparatory readings and viewing tasks; take the introductory language quiz (not graded for final results) and assess your technical competency in English. Based on the results, you can spend more time, if needed, upgrading your awareness of the technical elements of English, especially your knowledge of English's meta-language (parts of speech/parts of a sentence). 2. In a module, (there are 8 overall), if there is a introductory/revision quiz, make sure you complete these tasks so as to reinforce your understanding of the program's content.They are not compulsory; they are, however, very helpful. 3. There are two Workbooks that contain all the program's materials (lectures/tutorials). I strongly suggest you download these as PDFs and you print and bind these Workbooks. Having the hard copy versions at hand will be absolutely critical to completing the tutorials effectively. Also, the exam questions will all be drawn from the Workbooks 4.
