English language classes III - opis przedmiotu

Cel przedmiotu

The aim of English Language Classes (ELC), comprising 4 courses: Grammar, Integrated Skills, Reading and Writing, Listening and Speaking, is to improve the student's language skills mainly in receptive and productive language competences, i.e. reading, writing, listening and speaking to reach a language level of B2+/C1. Interactional (oral and written) and mediation activities (oral: summaries of the text read or listened to; written: paraphrasing, summarising) play a major role. The students advance their linguistic competence and improve their social competence (cooperate and learn peer evaluation) as well as digital competence.
