English language classes IV - opis przedmiotu

Cel przedmiotu

The aim of 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 student deepens his/her linguistic competence and becomes increasingly independent and creative in the use of language, systematically extends his/her cultural knowledge of the English-speaking area, improves his/her social competence (cooperates and learns to evaluate each other) and digital competence.
