This unit is targeted at learners proceeding from a Level 2 vocational programme (therefore taking into account completion of Level 2 Key Skills English) as well as those whose entry level is directly at Level 3.
At Level 3, learners are expected to have sufficient knowledge of English in order to deal with everyday situations in scenarios ranging from home, work, social and public settings. General emphasis is laid on work and public settings. In their application of this knowledge, learners are required to listen to or read a range of short texts of a technical and non-technical nature, as well as information broadcast through the popular media. General understanding as well as association of ideas and inference of meaning are expected at this level. Learners should be capable of communicating in English by discussing familiar topics or vocational topics previously exposed to.
