During the Bachelor’s study programme the students acquire knowledge and skills within
the field of the English language, intercultural communication, as well as the literature,
history and culture of the English-speaking countries. All core courses are taught in
English. Students in the 3rd year choose their specialization in one of the following
areas: British Literature and Culture, English Drama and Film, American Literature and
Culture, Communication Theory and Practice, Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis, and
Applied Linguistics, including Translation and FL Teaching Methodology.
The syllabus includes a compulsory module of Practical English, consisting of integrated

interpreters, media workers and academics. The general courses, including Introduction to
Linguistics, Descriptive Grammar (Phonology and Syntax), Polish-English Contrastive
Grammar, History of the English Language, and Psycholinguistics are obligatory for all the

offering a broad overview of British poetry, drama and prose from the Anglo-Saxon
period to the present day. Similarly, general courses in American Literature and Civilization

for all the students. Additionally, the students wishing to specialize in these areas
