Pre – Assessment ENGLISH FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME A Language Programme that Meets your Needs The Wits Language School English for Professional Development Programme is designed to meet the needs of South Africans whose mother tongue is not English. The courses will assist you in improving your ability to perform in all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing thereby enabling you to reach your full potential through effective communication. Whether you want to improve your employment prospects, increase your confidence or raise your performance, the English for Professional Development Programme is the right choice in helping you advance your language skills. We provide a dynamic learning environment and our strict quality requirements ensure a high standard of courses through experienced and highly qualified teachers. The Programme The programme offers 8 modules that are all aligned to the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) Unit Standards on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). Each NQF level is divided into 2 modules, Module A and Module B. Each module consists of 40 contact hours and runs for 10 weeks every Saturday from 09h00 to 13h00. In the eleventh week an exam will be written. To achieve an NQF Unit Standard, competence across two modules is required. The full programme covers 320 face-to-face hours. However, the pre-assessment allows for entry into the programme at any point. Pre-assessment The pre-assessment allows us to RPL(recognition of prior learning) the candidate’s level of prior learning i.e. the present level of English language competence which in turn allows us to place the candidate at the correct level within the programme. All candidates are required to take a placement assessment to ensure they enter the programme at an appropriate level. No specific school or tertiary qualification is required. However all candidates must be literate and numerate. NQF LEVEL 2 COMPETENCE ENGLISH FOUNDATIONS . MODULE A . MODULE B NQF LEVEL 3 COMPETENCE ENGLISH FUNDAMENTALS ur . MODULE A .

Syndicate Group Meetings The aim of the meetings is to provide students with more opportunities to interact in English. The activities are centred around business. Syndicate Group meetings give you the chance to engage in strategies for problem solving, debates, discussions, decision making, presenting and justifying opinions and presenting proposals. Thus, the focus is largely on reading comprehension and speaking fluency. Book Club Book Club is where students meet to discuss a book that they have read and express their opinions, likes, dislikes, etc. The aim of the book club is to further enhance students’ English reading and speaking skills by launching into enthralling plotline debates, arguing about favourite characters and using the discussion forums to tell fellow readers which parts made you laugh and cry. Scrabble Meet Scrabble is a classic board game, which is not only fun to play, but also acts as a great educational tool. It helps increase vocabulary, teaches spelling skills and problem solving skills and enhances mathematical skills. Grammar Q & A Grammar Q&A is an excellent opportunity for all students to clarify any grammar issues they may have. Students can bring any grammar question to the session and the facilitator will explain the grammar point, when it is used, give examples of it and provide students with an opportunity to practise it.

  • Part 3: Status Quo 2008
    PART 3: STATUS QUO 2008 2.1 Transportation Movement within the Rosebank Study Area is if not the most important, certainly one of the most important components of a well functioning Node. The Study Area has a well established functional road hierarchy/classification which has been identified by the Johannesburg Roads Agency taking the following factors into consideration: Vehicle volumes; Vehicle speeds; Traffic control measures; Surrounding land-use; Pedestrian activities; Pedestrian facilities; Public transport facilities; Mobility function; Accessibility function; Continuity; Traffic control; Providing connectivity; Strategic importance; Apparent road function; Regional importance. Although adjustments to these considerations are necessary in the light of the Gautrain Rapid Rail Link Project, the existing functional road hierarchy will assist as a point of departure for all other planning issues related to access, parking and trip making either through walking, cycling or driving within the precinct. The following provides a short summary of the different functional classes of roads and the meaning of these classes 5: Class 1: Trunk Roads (National and Regional Freeways) Generally these are rural roads. Their function is to facilitate the regional distribution of traffic. These can be national or provincial roads and include freeways, expressways, dual carriageways and single carriageway main roads. Continuous sections of these roads in urban areas should be designed as by-pass routes. Route continuity is important. Example: M1 Highway 5 National Guidelines for Traffic Calming, Department of Transport, March 1996 22 PART 3: STATUS QUO 2008 Class 2: Primary Distributors or Major Arterials (Distributor Roads) These roads constitute the primary road network for the urban area as a whole.

    Impact of hybridisation in two Cossypha robin-chat species in southern Africa Jean Mollett Corresp., Equal first author, 1 , Naadhirah Munshi Equal first author, 1 , Craig Symes 2 1 Science Faculty, School of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa 2 Science Faculty, School of Animal, Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa Corresponding Author: Jean Mollett Email address: [email protected] Chorister Robin-Chat Cossypha dichroa, a South African forest endemic, and Red-capped Robin-Chat C. natalensis, a widely distributed species in African forest and woodland, are inferred to hybridise in areas of sympatry. DNA was extracted from blood samples of C. dichroa (n = 18), C. natalensis (n = 47), and two phenotypic hybrids. The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene was amplified by PCR and sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis was performed on the sequence data to investigate taxonomic status and putative interspecific hybridisation. Phenotypic hybrids grouped with C. natalensis, suggesting maternal parentage from that species. Intra- and interspecific genetic and geographic distances were compared between C. dichroa and C. natalensis to assess genetic introgression. Seven of the thirteen microsatellite primer pairs developed for C. natalensis cross amplified in C. dichroa. These seven markers were then used for further analysis. STRUCTURE v2.3.4 was used to assign individuals to a particular genetic cluster and determine any admixture. NEWHYBRIDS v1.1 was used to assign hybrid status to samples beyond the F1 generation. Despite the hybridisation events recorded between C. dichroa and C. natalensis they still form two separate clusters as expected, and two genetic clusters (K=2) were identified using STRUCTURE.

  • Savage Instincts Excuse’ Which Has Jeremy Griffith Talking with Franklin Mukakanga, Tim Macartney-Snape and Stacy Rodger in Sydney on 3 March 2017
    The Transcript of Part 3 of the 3-part video titled ‘Savage Instincts Excuse’ which has Jeremy Griffith talking with Franklin Mukakanga, Tim Macartney-Snape and Stacy Rodger in Sydney on 3 March 2017. This Part describes ‘Teleology & mechanistic science’. (To view the 3-part video see the WTM Transformation page at www.humancondition.com/ transformation/#candid-discussions*) © 2017 Fedmex© 2017 Pty Ltd Tim Macartney-Snape: You know, one of my first experiences of a negative reaction to our work was giving your book Free: The End of The Human Condition to a scientist, an anthropologist. And he was incredibly dismissive because he very quickly realised that it was promoting a teleological concept and that is just a no-go zone for science. Teleology is like ‘the devil’ to science. Jeremy: It’s an acknowledgement of Integrative Meaning. Teleology means ‘the tendency in nature to form wholes’ (Concise Oxford Dictionary, 5th edn, 1964), it’s an admission of Integrative Meaning. [Read more about Integrative Meaning in Freedom Essay 23*.] Tim: Whereas really, ‘the devil’ to science is egotism, people pushing their own theories. Jeremy: Yes, it’s really incestuous.

Jeremy: He’s a very famous South African. The English named Jan Smuts Avenue and the Jan Smuts Airport in Johannesburg after him. Franklin: Yes, there’s the Jan Smuts Airport. Jeremy: But they’ve renamed it now because his legacy receives the same opposition as Cecil Rhodes’s legacy does because they were so exploitative.
