Course objectives
Students will develop all four skills, reading, listening, speaking and writing, for better communication. As they are expected to be at an upper-intermediate level (CEFR B2-C1), they will work on extending the range and accuracy of the language as well as the register.
They will learn to analyze the language for teaching purposes and will be aware of the fact that they have changed their roles - from being the users of the language into being the source of information about the language and language model providers.
