Learning outcomes
In this semester students will do the last three units (10-12) of the Navigate B1 Pre-intermediate coursebook which develop their communication abilities and include activities related to all four language skills. More focus will be put on productive speaking skills in this semester. A systematic development of students' ability to communicate in their study field language is also part of the course. It is necessary to enroll in CJV/AJ4 and the exam CJV/AJZ1 in the summer semester.
After passing the course students will be able to use the grammar (the passive voice, second conditional clauses, used to, uses of the -ing form and infinitive with to, present perfect simple with for and since) and vocabulary (units 10-12 of the coursebook) well. At the end of the whole course (AJ1-AJ4) they will be able to prove that their language skills are at the B1 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference.
Prerequisites
English language on level A2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference. This includes all the language skills, i. e. reading, listening, writing and speaking. Students' grammar and vocabulary skills must also be on the required level.
