Academic Summary and Course Entry LevelsTeaching Methodology

BBSI’s aims are to encourage students’ responsibility for their own learning,

and to develop their language within real-life contexts.

In general English courses the emphasis is on improving language skills across all

four skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) with an emphasis on effective

communication. These courses offer a blended learning approach; classroom

teaching includes the use of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) on our Moodle

platform, myBBSI. This allows students the flexibility to access a wide range of

activities to meet their needs and interests, both in school and at home. The VLE

also enables our teachers to closely monitor progress and to provide targeted

work to challenge and support each individual student.

On specialised courses, students learn about key language, concepts and theories

within their subject through the medium of English. Students are able to focus on

learning the terms, study skills and communication skills that will help them in their

career or in higher education. The emphasis is on learner independence, which

involves the students in research and collaborative tasks both inside and outside

the classroom, strengthened by a bank of course materials and study support on

our VLE, myBBSI. Those who choose to progress to university have the advantage

of academic study skills, as well as specific knowledge about their field of study,

to put them ahead of their peers.

BBSI Awards

All students receive BBSI certification on successful completion of their course. Courses of four weeks or more are graded

at the level of Pass, Credit or Distinction (see table below).

PASS 50-64% Ability to communicate clearly and to express concepts and

FAIL below 50%

ACADEMIC ASSESSMENT &

PRogRESS MoNIToRINg

Students take an entry test on arrival at BBSI

and are then placed in appropriate classes.

Academic achievement is measured by means of

continuous assessment on all courses. As part

of their studies, students are set a range of tasks

to demonstrate their progress and understanding,

including essays, reports, meeting role-plays,

presentations and academic assignments. We

aim for high academic standards and we allocate

an appropriate final grade on BBSI awards.

Regular student tutorials are an important part

of the feedback process, so students are aware

of the progress they are making, and how best

to improve.

ACADEMIC STAFF

The emphasis at BBSI is on high-quality

professional teaching.

We employ full-time native-speaker level teachers,

as well as part-time teachers and freelance

specialists. All our teachers have one or more

English teaching qualifications, and the majority

of our teachers have degrees and other

qualifications, as well as appropriate and

relevant professional experience which they

have gained in their respective fields.

Note: BBSI students are expected to attend 100% of their lessons; 90% minimum is required for Distinction and Credit grades.

External Recognition

BBSI courses are accredited for the teaching of English by the

British Council.

BBSI holds the NCFE Investing in Quality (IIQ) licence, which gives formal

recognition to our specialised and tailored courses.

Students who successfully complete a BBSI Vocational, University Foundation

or Pre-Masters Higher-Certificate, Diploma, or Extended Diploma course, will

also receive a certificate from the national awarding body, NCFE, for the 16-week

specialised elements of the course.

BBSI is also an Approved Centre for the Institute of Leadership &

Management (ILM).

BBSI Vocational, University Foundation or Pre-Masters courses in Management,

Leadership & HR benefit from ILM educational approval, through which students

who successfully complete four full modules can achieve an ILM Parchment on

completion of their studies (in order to qualify for the ILM Parchment, students may

need to study for more than eight weeks. The ILM Parchment fee is not included in

Aviation EnglishBBSI offers tailored Aviation English training courses for pilots and ATCOs. Our courses conform to ICAO guidelines can be

structured to meet the precise requirements of individual sponsors.

Course Content & Structure

general English. The general English language elements aim to enhance confidence in all four language skills through extensive practice.

Aviation English. Training focuses on aviation language development in context. We include necessary elements of pronunciation, structure,

vocabulary, fluency, comprehension and interaction. We address standard, non-standard and unusual phraseology, terminology and vocabulary.

Students examine case studies, where the use of incorrect language either led to disaster, or exacerbated a dangerous situation.

Practice Activities. Practice activities include role-play, simulations, aircraft emergencies, bomb threats, alerts, contingency actions and

special requests. We utilise case studies and study audio of actual incident and occurrence reports, where poor English, or use of non-standard

radio phraseology, was a contributing factor.

Specialised Content. Specialised content includes a full inventory of events, domains and sub-domains that characterise the day-to-day

communications of air traffic controllers and pilots.

Functionality. Emphasis is placed on speaking and listening skills, with continual practice in context. We study authentic broadcasts and

examples of aircraft emergencies that relate to non-routine radio phraseology, unusual requests and aircraft incidents.

Testing

BBSI can arrange Aviation English testing at an external examining centre, upon request. The test would incur an additional fee.

Maritime EnglishBBSI offers specially tailored Maritime English training courses, on a broad range of topics.

Courses aim to enable trainees to develop their knowledge of terms and concepts, and return to their places of work with improved

cinemas, concerts, theatres, night clubs, bars and restaurants. Our shops cater

for all tastes. Bournemouth is also famous for its seven miles of sandy beaches,

progress in English.
