Skills For Success Guide For Teachers
A topic can typically be completed in 2 hours and will involve students reading some content, watching
videos, visiting useful websites, completing quizzes and answering short written tasks.
There are no ‘live’ lectures or seminars, and Study Centre teachers are not required to deliver classes to
cover the content.
As outlined above, students should be advised to wait until they are approximately half-way through the
first semester of their IFY study to start work on the Skills for Success module. This is to allow students
to improve their English language skills before undertaking the Skills for Success module.
The module is designed to build skills and thus support students’ learning and development across the
IFY qualification. You may want to check-in with students periodically to check their progress and their
understanding of the topics covered.
It may be helpful to review students’ portfolios (see below) prior to 1-1 tutorials. These may provide
further points for students to consider when reflecting on their progress over the module.
During the study of Skills for Success, students will complete short quizzes and tasks. These quizzes and
tasks are not graded but should be helpful for students in tracking their progress. All tasks that are
completed will be saved in a student portfolio that students can review at the end of their study to
reflect on how they have developed their skills.
If you require further information or help, or have any feedback on the module, please contact the NCUK
Academic Support & Development team (centresupport@ncuk.ac.uk).
