Course Description
Further development of oral and written skills in routine life and simple business
situations
The foundation course takes the students up to ‖intermediate‖ level in three semesters.
The course is therefore fast and demanding and requires steady work throughout the
semester.
The objective of the 3rd semester is to develop the communicative competence of the
students as basic users in the private and public domain (everyday life situations).
During the course the students will learn to interact in conversations on topics of
personal interest and on contemporary problems and they will improve their ability to
sustain monologues on these topics. They will also learn to deal with the everyday life
situations.
Further the students will practise (during the lessons and at home)the comprehension
and production of written texts on the topics of the unit contents and the topics of the
first and second semester.
NB. During the semester the students are also expected to read at home a short book
and to answer questions about its content during the oral exam in order to improve their
ability of understanding longer texts and speaking about them.
