The purpose of this book is mainly for those who have been away from the English classroom for quite some time and may feel that their competence in the English language has become a bit 'rusty.' They therefore need to 'brush up' on their English and consolidate what they have previously learned. Although a wide variety of skills and competencies will be encompassed by the users of this book, it is nevertheless presumed that the students who approach its course material will already have a reasonable grasp of the English language, and thus will not be raw beginners. Notwithstanding the presumption that students taking this course are at least of the post-beginner level, the author has endeavoured to ensure that this book is user-friendly, and trusts that students will have an enjoyable and pleasant journey through its pages.
While the course is based on three levels - Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced, with each unit corresponding to one teaching session, the contact timing is entirely flexible. The teaching sessions herein displayed are purely for reasons of administrative convenience. Likewise, the 32 hours assigned to each level is purely recommendatory.
