Course Description
English 102, online course introduces and gives practice in the four language skill areas: Listening,
Speaking, Reading, and Writing. The course books enable the students to develop the skills they
need to succeed in their future academic and professional careers. It also helps them to collaborate,
innovate, adapt, be self-directed, be flexible, be creative, be tech-literate, and be accountable-both
individually and in groups. It presents and practises most of the language functions (both general
and academic) required at this stage through integrated grammar and vocabulary. Grammar is
further supplemented through Macmillan English Grammar In context- Intermediate. It provides
revision, practice and extension of the most commonly used grammatical structures required for the
students’. The course also provides students with additional specific language skills, in medical
word building. The self-study skills are reviewed and reinforced through presentation and written
work. The course integrates grammar, vocabulary acquisition and critical thinking in order to
maximize skills and practice. The students will also be exposed to video documentaries. In addition
to normal homework tasks, self-study assignments are given to provide additional vocabulary
support, reading skills and inculcate independent study habits. The main aim of this course is to
encourage students to become active independent learners. As an added impetus, the course is also
offered using online facilities through the existing Learning Management Systems (LMS)- Moodle.

Evaluation:
The evaluation of this course is based on Continuous Assessments, Mid-Term Assessment and
Final Assessment. In order to ensure that the learning outcomes have been achieved and to avoid
focusing solely on exam results, evaluation includes a variety of formative and summative

Continuous Assessment: (Formative)
Formative assessment is an on-going activity conducted to help students to achieve the relevant
learning outcomes and to improve the standards. It helps the teacher to gather information about the
student’s learning and give meaningful feedback. It also helps to identify student’s learning
difficulties at an early stage and provide timely help. In addition, formative assessments help
teachers to improve and modify teaching
For the purpose of collecting assessment data about student achievement following assessment
methods could be considered for the various components:
 Classwork or homework
 Group/Pair work
 Day- to-day observation
 Standardized assignments/quizzes
 Oral presentations
 Extensive Reading
6
 Portfolios
 Short Impromptu tests or speaking, listening, writing, reading, grammar, vocabulary or
pronunciation activities
To have a common standard among the teachers in Muscat and Branches and among the different
components, continuous assessment is based on a total of minimum 4 ongoing activities and two
standardized assignments. Each assessment will be for 10 marks and will be recorded in the mark
sheets provided (See descriptor below). Speaking assessment is based on the Unit Assignments
given in the course book. Teachers must very clearly keep a record of the outcome(s) that are being
assessed in each activity.

STUDENT’S REFLECTION JOURNAL

One of the objectives of English 02 is to enable students describe learning experiences,
challenges, and insights in a reflective Journal (p 2 Objective 20). Students note down their
reflection which will help them to contrive their own learning strategies as they progress through
the course. The Reflective Journal is sent via Moodle to the concerned teachers.
Let the students divide the page into 4 columns with the following headings:
Date Experience Challenges Insights
Experience: In this column students will talk either about their experience or the lesson that has
an impact on them.
Challenges: In this column the students will write any difficulty, or things they should do to
improve their language.
Insights: In this column they can write in what way their experience or lesson is interesting or
helps them to learn or do something.
Example
Date Experience Challenges Insights
