Annotation -
The course aims at developing students´ communicative competence from the initial B1+ towards B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It is the fifth part of a five-semester course. Four essential language skills – speaking, listening, reading and writing - are developed throughout the course with the special focus on fluency and appropriateness of one´s speech. The students are motivated to clearly formulate their opinions about the topics from the coursebook. Their wordstock is systematically enriched, especially with collocations, idioms, phrasal verbs and abstract expressions. Students are led to understand grammar as a system and their knowledge is extended by grammatical features occurring in the used texts. The course is led in two language levels - pre-intermediate and intermediate.
