About the Literacy & Communication curriculum

The Literacy & Communication curriculum is a complete, self-paced course in languages, organised into 3 progressive levels and 9 modules. It opens with Foundations of Reading strategies and Core methods in Comprehension skills, moves through Applying Vocabulary development and finishes with expert-level work on Leading practice in Grammar conventions and Mastering Communication at work.

Across the whole path you work through 27 individual topics — from Reading strategies and Hands-on: reading strategies at the start to Hands-on: communication at work and Checking your understanding of communication at work by the end. The levels are estimated at 6 weeks · about 24 hours, 8 weeks · about 32 hours and 10 weeks · about 40 hours. Each level assumes the one before it, so you can work straight through from Intermediate to Expert, or start at the level that matches what you already know.

It is designed for learners who want usable fluency and clear explanation, not phrase-book memorisation. Practice is cumulative: each module adds structures you immediately reuse, with models, errors to avoid and short production tasks.

Every module pairs a written summary with a worked example, a short quiz to check the idea landed, and a project brief drawn from real practice. You are never asked to take a concept on trust: the reasoning, the common mistakes and the situations where the approach stops working are all laid out, so you finish a module able to explain the idea rather than only recognise it.

What you’ll be able to do

By the end of the Literacy & Communication path you should be able to work confidently with:

Reading strategies

Hands-on: reading strategies

Checking your understanding of reading strategies

Comprehension skills

Putting comprehension skills to work

Checking your understanding of comprehension skills

Vocabulary development

Modules: Foundations of Reading strategies · Core methods in Comprehension skills · Applying Vocabulary development

  • Reading strategies: Reading strategies is where many Literacy & Communication learners first get stuck, so the module slows down, isolates the difficult step and rebuilds it with you.
  • Hands-on: reading strategies: This module treats Reading strategies as a tool: the question it answers, what it assumes, and what a correct use of it looks like in Literacy & Communication.
  • Checking your understanding of reading strategies: Reading strategies is where many Literacy & Communication learners first get stuck, so the module slows down, isolates the difficult step and rebuilds it with you.

Project: Write a one-page explanation of Reading strategies in your own words, with an example you chose yourself, and test it against the module checklist.

Advanced 8 weeks · about 32 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Advanced Literacy & Communication

Build on the intermediate level through Sentences & paragraphs, Summarising and Speaking & listening. The emphasis shifts from knowing the ideas to choosing between them — trade-offs, failure modes and the reasoning behind each decision.

Modules: In depth Sentences & paragraphs · Patterns and trade-offs in Summarising · Scaling Speaking & listening

  • Sentences & paragraphs: Here Sentences & paragraphs becomes a design decision. You compare alternatives, justify a choice and test it against a harder problem.
  • Putting sentences & paragraphs to work: Sentences & paragraphs is pushed past the textbook case: competing approaches, their trade-offs and the situations where each one breaks down.
  • Checking your understanding of sentences & paragraphs: Here Sentences & paragraphs becomes a design decision. You compare alternatives, justify a choice and test it against a harder problem.

Project: Produce a short case analysis in which Sentences & paragraphs drives the recommendation, including the alternatives you rejected and why.

Expert 10 weeks · about 40 hours 3 modules 9 topics

Expert Literacy & Communication

Work at the edge of Literacy & Communication through Reading media texts, Grammar conventions and Communication at work. The modules assume fluency and ask for judgement: designing, critiquing and defending work at a professional standard.

Modules: Frontiers of Reading media texts · Leading practice in Grammar conventions · Mastering Communication at work

  • Reading media texts: Reading media texts is examined at the frontier, with an emphasis on open problems, rigorous argument and decisions you can defend.
  • Hands-on: reading media texts: This module asks you to critique and extend Reading media texts rather than simply apply it, producing work another expert could review.
  • Checking your understanding of reading media texts: Reading media texts is examined at the frontier, with an emphasis on open problems, rigorous argument and decisions you can defend.

Project: Write a professional-standard brief on Reading media texts — argument, evidence, limitations — plus a plan for taking the work further.
