Course objectives:
|
The subject is aimed to enable the students to deepen and expand the knowledge and skills they acquired in all components of the communicative language competence during their preceding studies, when they achieved the B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). It reflects the principles of ESP course design. Communicative language competence is further developed by means of collaboartion and communication in the eLearning environment of LMS Moodle and Mahara. The subject includes skill training enabling students to create and present their research outcomes in the form of a scientific poster.
