Students will work on improving their English in all four major skill groups: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The materials used will be provided on the moodlinka course and in paper form at the copy centre. At the end of the course, the students will be able to interpret complex texts and make deductions based on acquired knowledge, lead a discussion, and express their ideas meaningfully in a written form. There will be a presentation in which students are expected as future teachers to be able to prepare a short lesson for the other students.
