  Lecturer : Nur-Al Huda binti Hashim Semester : Semester II, 2011/2012
  Synopsis This subject prepares students for advanced academic communication in English with emphasis on both written and oral communication skills. Students will be assigned projects that require them to look for and extract relevant information from various sources. In the process of completing the projects assigned, students will put into practice various skills developed in the earlier subject as well as skills in collecting data through interviews and questionnaire survey, integrating and presenting information (in oral and written form), managing time and interacting in a group. By the end of this course, students will be able to apply the skills to perform various oral and written activities such as presenting a project proposal, giving a briefing on the progress of the report and completing a written report, i.e. skills that are much needed in their studies.
