| Teaching methods: |
The teaching approach focuses on the students and their active participation in class (action-oriented approach). The students often work in pairs and groups. The aim is to develop language skills in the academic and business context, rather than grammatical structures which are limited to the required minimum. Building specialised vocabulary is a significant element of the course. The students also develop skills such as learner autonomy, self-discipline and critical thinking. All the students get access to course materials on Google Drive and Google Classroom. The students will be given detailed manual on how to use Google Classroom before the beginning of the course. Classes will be run online using Zoom together with Google Classroom. The combination of those tools will allow for synchronous and asynchronous work during the course. |
