This is a one-semester course, 1x2 face-to-face lessons per week + 2 lessons of distant study via the Moodle platform.

The Course English I is designed for lower-intermediate students (A2/B1), corresponding to the level of the standardized state school-leaving exam. Unlike general English, it offers topics and texts with an academic flavour. Apart from reviewing and consolidating the basic grammatical structures, it deals with key strategies on how to write an essay and take notes etc. The leaving level is set to B1+.
To find out their level of English, students can take the level test created by the British Council. https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/content<br>

In-person learning:
1 x 2 face-to-face lessons and about 2 online lessons (Moodle) - the time required for the online work relates also to the individual approach and level of English knowledge of a particular student.
The work in the course is divided into the face-to- face lessons and self-study activities – the online part.


Before the beginning of the course the students will be sent an email with the information on signing in Moodle and logging in the online lessons.
