Course objectives
Grammar 2A is a course in English grammar at intermediate level which summarizes and further develops the students' knowledge of particular grammar points not discussed previously in Grammar 1B (for topics discussed in Grammar 2A, see the Outline of the course below).
Students are expected to work on the corresponding units of Macmillan Grammar in Context (the primary source used both for independent study and in class) so that the class work is mostly focused on practice.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the students will be able to (SWBAT) distinguish differences between particular grammar structures and compare them; SWBAT form sentences using the structures discussed; SWBAT provide examples of their own; SWBAT transform sentences using a different structure while keeping the original meaning; SWBAT identify the most common problems and mistakes in grammar.Throughout the semester students are encouraged to link theory in the classroom to practice at schools via practical tasks.
