Cele kształcenia dla zajęć

A1. The general aim of the course is to prepare students for an active participation in classes conducted only in English. To achieve this purpose, the set of primary aims listed below are to be met and these are to be successfully integrated. A2. One of the major aims of the course is to improve students’ listening comprehension skills in order to prepare them for understanding classes taught only in English. This aim will be achieved through the overall specificity of the course, where most of the didactic materials will contain vocabulary used in academic English (with emphasis laid on vocabulary used by biologists). A3. Another aim of the course is to improve speaking skills of the participants so that at the end of the course they can communicate with relative ease on a variety of topics, ranging from their study-specific ones to those encountered in everyday situations. This aim also encompasses polishing students’ pronunciation of English by eradicating possible elements of Polish pronunciation. A4. Apart from the above, the course is also intended to help the participants develop writing skills in formal academic English. They are expected to learn how to write various types of texts such as paragraphs, essays, academic re-search papers, reports, abstracts, and e-mails. A5. The programme of the course is also aimed at explaining the complexities of English grammar at the advanced and proficiency levels to make the participants fluent in use of correct grammatical structures of the English language. A6. The course obviously focuses on expanding the vocabulary of the participants at the advanced and proficiency levels. Besides this, the materials used during the course will provide useful academic vocabulary (with emphasis laid on vocabulary used in biology). A7. Last but not least, the course offers a set of classes designed to improve presentation skills in English on various topics with the use of Power Point and other multimedia.

Wymagania wstępne

The only preliminary requirement for the course is good command of English at the intermediate or upper-intermediate level.
