Course objectives
In this class, students will develop their speaking and listening skills. We will spend most of our time engaged in discussion, and students will expand their vocabulary and skill using complex structures by actually using the language.

Teaching methods
The methods used in teaching are mainly different types of discussion (pair, group, class), reading, listening and giving presentations. All these expect active home preparation and are supported by an online course.
Assessment methods
Attendence is required since it is impossible to make up a missed discussion. Regarding class contribution, students should participate positively in group and class discussions, and not only when called upon. Students are also required to give a brief oral presentation to the whole class.
Language of instruction
English
