Course objectives
The Online Course of Academic English for the Humanities I is aimed at developing academic/professional linguistic skills. The content of the course corresponds to a B2 (Common European Framework of Reference) level of English language competence. Students can understand the main ideas of relatively complex text on both concrete and academic/professional topics, including discussions in their field of specialisation; can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party; can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of academic/professional subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.
