General English 1A is the first five-week course of General English Level 1. Students who successfully complete the course will be able to articulate to the next five-week level course (General English 1B) in preparation for GE Level 2, the EAP program, and, eventually, tertiary study at Federation University. Students receive a progress report upon completion of each five-week course. Students in this course will be introduced to skills to help them understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type. They will learn how to introduce themself and others, ask and answer questions about personal details such as where they live, people they know and things they have. They will partake in scaffolded opportunities to interact in a simple way with other speakers in English, provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help in the creation of meaning.
