Students will read and analyse texts to introduce new
structures and vocabulary. For the listening and speaking
sections, the emphasis is on the active production of the
language to promote active recall of vocabulary items and
their usage in the appropriate context using the correct
grammatical forms in accordance with accepted
conversational conventions.
The teaching method is based on class work. By working
through a series of graded and contextualised dialogues
students will further develop reading, writing, listening and
speaking skills. In addition, students will be required to
participate in group discussions on topics selected by the
lecturer.
