Re-engineering an English Language Program towards an integrated multimodal curriculum

Kung-Keat Teoh; Lauren Butterworth; Ruby Sims; Grace Chipperfield

Abstract

An English Language Program (ELP) was first established at Flinders University in 2015 to ensure students’ competency in the English language in accordance with the Australian Universities Quality Agency’s Good Practice Principles (2009). The ELP was delivered as an opt-in, non-credit bearing program via five distinct modules. The program was run face-to-face, with the online mode offered in 2020/2021 as a response to Covid-19. Initially, positive attendance and completion numbers were achieved; however, in recent years, attrition has been consistently high, prompting our Academic Language and Learning (ALL) unit to review the ELP to deliver an integrated, authentic, and hybrid program.
