Learning outcomes
|
The course builds on previous practical language courses and focuses on further development of students´ communicative competence in all its aspects - linguistic, pragmatic and strategic. Students will improve their communicative skills and effective use of the language in various contexts by improving their knowledge of grammatical, lexical and stylistic structures. The aim of the course is elimination of insufficiencies in fluency, accuracy, and appropriateness of expression and register, and the increase of ability to pursue effectively the purpose of communication. Within oral and written utterances, students will also employ the knowledge and skills acquired in other classes, such as Presentation Skills (BPREZ), English for Specific Purposes (BOJA1), Writing Skills (BAKPS), etc.
