Course Description
If you have studied a language before and your language skills
are suitable to communicate simple phrases and vocabulary but yet
you are not confident in conversing in past, present and future
situations, then this course is suitable for you. The programme
helps you to develop and improve your ability to communicate in a
number of differing situations in everyday life, when finding your
way around and out shopping, etc. You will learn to extend language
use and incorporate different time frames to identify and reproduce
written vocabulary and more complex sentences as well as understand
and speak the language using more complex phrases and
vocabulary.
The course is appropriate for learners who have a good range of
vocabulary and can communicate and identify simple phrases in the
target language.
You will not have to sit an examination for this qualification
but you will need to prepare a portfolio of evidence of your
studies. You will use all language skills, reading, writing,
listening and speaking during the course and will develop
confidence with using the target language.
Languages offered include Italian and Spanish. We welcome
enquiries for other languages; however we would only be able to
offer a course if there was sufficient demand.
These qualifications are intended for use by a wide variety of
learners and are particularly suitable for:
- Adults in part-time provision
- Adults in the workplace
- Adults in full-time learning
- 16-19 learners in schools and colleges who wish to study a
language
- alongside their academic or vocational qualifications
Course Structure
The Doncaster College Language Skills Certificate consists of
four communication skills, reading, writing, listening and
