In the course students develop their language skills at level C1. They develop their speaking skills needed for interactive communication and learn about cultural norms of the English-speaking countries. Also, students practice descriptions, express their personal attitudes on the basis of visual prompts and discuss different topics and issues. Students are encouraged to express their opinion and develop critical thinking skills. Furthermore, the focus is on the development of students’ reading and academic writing skills. Students enrich their vocabulary by reading various texts and become aware of different aspects of the culture and social life of the English-speaking countries. They enrich their vocabulary by studying idioms, phrasal verbs and collocations, thus improving their written and oral communicative competence. Students analyse individual grammatical structures within the grammatical system, thus gradually developing their grammatical competence and gaining an insight in the functioning of the English language. Students restructure their knowledge doing more complex exercises and translations. They work on basic grammatical structures systematising and classifying them in a general overview. Also, students develop learning strategies and are trained for independent work.
