ENGLISH AS A GLOBAL LANGUAGE
This degree program is centered around
the idea that the English language
is today’s lingua franca: a universal
and global means of communication,
an indispensable key that opens many
doors. However, to master a foreign language,
to become a teacher or translator,
one must be fully acquainted with
the culture that produced it, with its history,
literature, social and political institutions.
Therefore, taking advantage
of the overall academic profile of Collegium
Civitas, this program includes lectures
and classes which will provide students
with a wealth of knowledge about
English-speaking countries. The purpose
of this program is not only to educate
future teachers of English, but also
to encourage intercultural communication
once our students enter the job market.

The Department faculty combines experience and expertise with youth and enthusiasm. Lectures and tutorials
are aided by modern methods and technologies. Language classes are taught in small groups of just twelve students
each, the smallest language classes on the academic market in Warsaw. Small classes create an environment,
which encourages an active learning strategy and guarantees success. Two specializations are offered in this program:
translations/interpreting and teaching.
