Course objectives
Course Grammar 2A 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).
Students are expected to work on the corresponding units of Macmillan Grammar in Context (the primary source, used in class too) so that the topics can be summarised and particular grammar points practised.
At the end of the course the students will be able to (SWBAT) distinguish differences between grammar structures and compare them; SWBAT form complex 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.
