The minimum entry requirement for this course is the knowledge of B1 grammar and vocabulary according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Students‘ assessment is based on their attendance record and active participation in the class discussions. Attendance in the classes is compulsory.

In well-founded cases, extra absences can be made up for after consulting the situation with the teacher.

At the end of the semester, students are required to complete a test which assesses students' ability to comprehend an English text and efficiently locate the information necessary for the comprehension in online dictionaries. The test is completed on-line in the credit week and students work on it from home. 

The aim of this course is to reinforce students' individual competencies in expressing themselves fluently and accurately in English in order to gain greater confidence when communicating in international and multicultural settings.

Previously acquired knowledge of grammar and vocabulary will be reviewed and systematically expanded through practical, real-life contexts. This will improve students' grammatical accuracy and range of vocabulary, as well as their ability to participate in discussions on a variety of general and social topics.

On successful completion of the course, students should be able to communicate in English independently at the B2 level.

The course can also be used as a preparation for international English language exams.
