Course contents :
|
| This course is the Upper Intermediate course, a natural follow-up of the first year's course. It aims to develop all four pillars of language learning (reading, writing, listening, expression).
The course will focus on grammar, needless to say, but will do so in a more pragmatic and even practical way.
In order to improve, students are required to attend class regularly as impromptu tests are not ruled out. It is also important to bear in mind that the more students are exposed to a language, the faster they will be able to pick it up. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
- Revision and enrichment of advanced English vocabulary as well as of its appropriate use.
- Reading comprehension: understanding texts, summarizing the information, reacting to the content.
- Revision and extension of essential and advanced grammar principles and rules.
