Learning outcomes
|
The course will focus on developing the productive skills, i.e. speaking and writing in English. The participants will be involved in various communicative activities aimed at both fluency and accuracy, namely discussions, oral presentations as well as some drama techniques such as role-play and drama games, which are successfully used in foreign language teaching. Writing will be practised through creative writing activities. Concrete topics will be discussed and selected on the basis of the participants' interest, needs and level. The topics will also reflect the expected multicultural make-up of the group.
Participants will develop their productive skills in English towards the B2/C1 levels.
