Course objectives
Course Grammar 1B deals with English grammar at intermediate level. The main objective is to summarize and develop the students' knowledge of particular grammar points (see the Outline of the course below).
The main course book is Macmillan English Grammar In Context Intermediate. Also, students are expected to work on the corresponding units of English Grammar in Use - Fourth edition(by R. Murphy) on their own so that in classes the topics can be summarised and particular grammar points practised.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the students will be able to distinguish differences between particular grammar structures and compare them; form sentences using the structures discussed; provide examples of their own; transform sentences using a different structure while keeping the original meaning; 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.
