Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course in the first semester is purely internet-based and focusses on academic writing. Tasks are posted on eCampus each week, and students are required to complete each one by the set deadline.
The course in the second semester focusses on academic speaking and will take place face-to-face.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
By the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- write a clear, smoothly-flowing text with an appropriate style and a logical structure;
- orally present a subject specific to their domain in a professional manner;
- organise and manage workshops in English;
- Write an abstract in formal, academic English.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
This course is the continuation of last year's course, so the level corresponds to the European level C1+. Thus, students will need to have a comprehensive knowledge of the vocabulary and grammar studied in the previous years of their degree.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Students will concentrate on fine-tuning their academic English skills and the activities will include:
- Practice in using grammar and domain-specific vocabulary in short written texts and adapted exercises;
- Theory behind producing academic written work and practice (Q1);
- Producing an academic report in English (Q1);
- Theory and practise of academic speaking (Q2);
- Organisation and management of a seminar (Q2).
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Blended learning
Additional information:
Distance learning via eCampus for the duration of Q1 (due to students' internships and the difficulty of planning a face-to-face class).
Face-to-face teaching in Q2 as the class is based purely on improving students' speaking skills.
Recommended or required readings
The material (syllabus with theory and exercises, Powerpoint slides, eCampus tests, videos etc.) can all be found on eCampus.
