Course objectives
The course is aimed at the development and improvement of the students' language skills through a range of reading, speaking and listenting activities. Students should broaden their vocabulary and become more confident using it within particular contexts. Special emphasis is placed on the students' ability to communicate their ideas meaningfully and correctly, carry out conversations and improve their knowledge of grammar at intermediate level.
Syllabus
  • The course is based on Inside Out Intermidiate - students will need to have their own copy of the Student's book and Workbook with key (for homework mainly). The plan is to cover Units 4 - 6 of the basic study material. The topics and grammar points discussed will be supplemented by other additional materials. The topics include Unusual experiences and Sports, Children and childhood, and News stories and press. Grammar points: narrative tenses, defining relative clauses and passive voice.
