Course objectives

This course aims at the practice of both academic and practical language skills connected to a study stay abroad. During this course students will practise all language skills (listening, reading comprehension, oral and written expression). Authentic audiovisual material and authentic texts are used. The aim of the course is to achieve language skills at the B1 level according to CEFR.

Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to achieve the B1 level (based on the Common European Framework of Reference) of English language competence. Students should 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; can practise filling in application forms for study abroad; can apply the principles of writing a motivation letter presented in the course and write a motivation letter for study abroad and a formal e-mail in the university context; can manage practical topics (e.g. travelling, accommodation and medical aid); can compare, contrast and evaluate different cultures.
