vocabulary.
Score: 36-39
For postgraduate and final year undergraduate students: You are likely to benefit from enrolling in a program that
provides opportunities to develop your use of syntax and vocabulary such as the Gateway and Grammar Masterclass
modules offered by the Learning Centre. If you are studying in Curtin Business School, you should contact the CBS
Communication Skills Centre.

make a personal plan for developing your reading, grammar and vocabulary. Click on the green 'self-assessment'
button on the UniEnglish home page to get some ideas.
For all students: You would benefit from developing your academic vocabulary. Reading can be an effective way of
doing this, so it is recommended that you take some time each day to read some pages of text related to your
discipline. For more ideas about developing your reading skills, visit the UniEnglish web pages.

Score: 15-17
For all students: You are unlikely to need additional support to assist in developing your formal listening skills. If you
have difficulty understanding English in informal situations (something which is not measured by this UniEnglish
diagnostic tool), you should consider participating in a program such as Speak Up or Speakers' Corner, or the
speaking modules offered by the Learning Centre. For more information on these programs, visit the UniEnglish
website.

designed to develop your aural/oral skills. Consult with your academic advisor or look up the options for English
support on the UniEnglish website.
For first/second year undergraduate students: You may find lectures difficult to follow at first, but you should find that
this becomes easier as you progress through your course. You may not need any additional support in formal
contexts, but if you have difficulty understanding English in informal situations it is recommended that you make a
personal plan for developing your listening/speaking skills. Click on the green self-assessment button on the
UniEnglish home page to get some ideas.
For all students: It is possible that while you can understand the words that you hear, you are not always able to infer
from them the message that is intended by the speaker. You would benefit from increasing your listening skills in this
area. For some ideas about developing your listening skills, visit the UniEnglish web pages.
