(syllabus)
The course includes language sessions to improve the four basic skills - listening, reading, speaking and writing - and to bring students up to a B1 level. As regards listening, this means listening to original texts relating to a variety of everyday situations and featuring a number of regional accents. Reading involves the study of texts that are both generic and more specialist and related to the students' area of study, with the focus on learning the techniques needed to correctly read the texts and answer multiple choice questions. Writing exercises include a review of the basic grammar knowledge required for B1 level and writing a variety of types of texts - emails, notices, business letters, reports, reviews, opinion essays. The course focuses less on speaking skills given the number of participants, but, in any case, there is always a chance to interact with the teacher and other students in English during all lessons.
