PROGRAMME

This course aims to extend students’ speaking and writing abilities. All students are expected to participate actively. The course will cover a number of writing skills including, summary writing and essay writing, incorporating elements of academic writing. Public speaking skills include presentations and speech making. Students are expected to reach a C1+ level in speaking and writing by the end of the year

Students must complete an assignment in order to take end of semester ‘esoneri’. Additionally, 75% of lessons must be attended. 6 & 12 credit students take the same exam.

Students are expected to do a considerable amount of work as preparation for lessons. Every two-hour lesson requires at least two hours of preparation as private study. Students requesting to change alphabet division need to send an explanatory e-mail to the teacher of their group copying it to the teacher of the proposed group explaining the valid motive behind their request. This must be done during the first two full weeks of lessons.
