Course objectives
Course Grammar 1B deals with English grammar at intermediate level. The main objective is to summarize and develop the students' knowledge of particular grammar points (see the Outline of the course below).
The main course book is Macmillan English Grammar In Context Intermediate, which summarizes the English Grammar at the level required. Students who need more practice are recommended to work on the corresponding units of English Grammar in Use - Fourth edition(by R. Murphy) on their own.
At the end of the course the students should be able to: distinguish differences between grammar structures, form complex sentences, give examples of their own, become competent users of the language.
