Objectives
Grammar: Perfecting the language: details and special cases. Linking words and their usage, nominal forms of the verb, alongside their verbal collocations; in short-everything syntax involves.
Vocabulary and conversation: its contents are completely tailored to the students’ needs. They listen to modern music and discuss current political affairs and contemporary literature. Students will easily be able to understand what they read and listen to. They will be capable of making themselves understood using appropriate expressions, differentiating subtle turns of phrase. They will find the language useful for career, cultural and academic purposes. They will be able to summarize multi-sourced items of information (both oral and textual) and deliver them reasonably well.
