CSC96-P34
* [Agenda]
The Sub-Committee is asked to note that a proposal from the English Language
Support Unit to offer a 10-credit optional module in the Use of English, for
students on any programme whose first language is not English, was initially
referred back and subsequently withdrawn following advice from the AD(T) and
the Academic Secretary; this on grounds of principle (its availability) and
practicality (resource issues). Alternative means of helping ELSU to reach the
target group of students and resourcing the activity are being explored.
A separate proposal that ELSU offer two `modules' in English Language
Communication and Study Skills to students on the BLS programme has been
agreed, on the understanding that the `modules' will not carry modular credit
and will be outside the University's modular scheme, and also that the
Department of Information and Library Studies will pay an agreed fee to ELSU
outside FRASL.
