Content:
This course will enable students to consolidate and to extend previously acquired language structures and skills, using all four core competences of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Students will discuss social, cultural and political issues with the help of up-to-date authentic reading and audio-visual material. Authentic material will broaden the knowledge and appreciation of various aspects of the country/ countries, in which the target language is spoken. In addition to developing overall language competency, one hour a week will be spent on developing students' ability to write detailed texts on a variety of subjects, synthesising and evaluating information and arguments from a number of sources.
