TASK Module 1: Key Foundation Skills
Anthony Manning
TASK (Transferable Academic Skills Kit)
“Equips students with skills which are necessary and transferable to work contexts.”
IATEFL Voices Newsletter
“Very useful in helping to promote learner autonomy, critical reflection and intercultural competence.”
Cynthia Sikorski, University of Lausanne, Switzerland
TASK is a flexible learning resource which takes into account the varied needs of both British and international students working towards a broad range of academic disciplines. Each module has been designed to develop the key transferable skills that underpin student's success in further and higher education. In each module, scaffolded exercises relate theory to practice and provide students with an array of skills they can reapply to their own learning context.
TASK can either be followed as a complete course, or individual modules can be selected according to students' specific needs. The flexible nature of the materials means they can be used in taught classes or made available to students for self-access study.
Key features:
• 12 modules, each consisting of six two-hour units
• Core academic skills focus adapted for EAP use
• Web-based extension tasks
