1BCA2 – COMMUNICATIVE ENGLISH;

Objective;

This course is designed on a predominantly communicative or interactive approach to the learning

English. This approach is based on the belief that language is not a body of knowledge to be learnt but a

skill to be acquired, Student requires the ability to use the language fluently effectively, correctly,

confidently and naturally in real life situations that is to say, they imbibe and internalize the language.
