To provide students with opportunities to practice teaching language concepts. 4. To allow students to use English communication in one-to-one, small group and whole class situations. 5. To help students develop their critical thinking and make them aware of various culture-specific aspects through discussions and debates.
Learning outcomes
During the course the students will submit one paper (argumentative essay), make a presentation covering one of the topics discussed in class, will continue to compile their learners' portfolios (an ongoing assignment of 3 semesters). They will understand and be able to discuss topics included in the course, make arguments for and against, discuss and evaluate advantages and disadvantages of particular issues; present, explain and justify their views. Students will become more aware of how language and culture are intrinsically connected and mutually dependent.
