Pełny opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) The course consists of the following components: Use of English: The course will cover selected issues connected to practical English grammar and vocabulary, focusing on aspects relevant to language production of both texts and speech at upper-intermediate level over time proceeding towards advanced level (B2+). Content distribution (which may be subject to modifications depending on students’ expressed needs or ongoing diagnosis conducted in all components of the Practical English course): - Revision regarding modal verbs, tenses and time clauses - Introduction to more complex sentence structures and a formal register - The infinitive, participles and verb complementation – lexical and syntactical aspects - Relative clauses (defining and non-defining) - Noun clauses, participle clauses - Adjectives and adverbs – lexical and syntactical aspects - Word formation practice - Selected collocations, idiomatic expressions, and words easily confused found in academic texts - Selected phrasal verbs and prepositional phrases typical for the academic register Throughout the semester, students will improve their overall grammar and vocabulary skills through a variety of exercises (open and multiple choice lexical and grammatical cloze, transformations, and error correction) at the B2+ level. Reading and Writing The course is designed so as to provide the foundation for effective critical reading and writing in selected academic content areas. Upon successful completion of the course, students will master reading and writing skills as well as key vocabulary required to decode written academic texts and complete written assignments at B2+ level, using a more formal register and writing citations for various types of source material.

They will develop their abstract vocabulary and their ability to activate such vocabulary during discussions with emphasis on the ability to specify, defend and modify their own opinions in discussion. In addition, the students will develop their skills with regard to academic discourse. The advanced (intellectually stimulating) materials will represent varied society- and academia-related themes. Content distribution: - Understanding introductions to a lecture/taking part in a seminar discussion/exchanging opinions - Recognizing key factual information, and definitions/ presenting visual information - Introducing and analysing supporting evidence/understanding assumptions in questions - Recognizing and practising signposting language (introducing, transitioning and sequencing)/giving a presentation - Spoken punctuation/responding to suggestions - Recognizing referencing language/giving a poster presentation |

Metody i kryteria oceniania: |
(tylko po angielsku) Assessment methods: Use of English: Observation of participation, preparation and homework as well as Moodle assignment completion documented in an activity log (U2, K1) Mid-semester test and end-of-semester test (W1, W2, U1) Reading and Writing: Observation of participation, preparation and homework as well as Moodle assignment completion, documented in an activity log (W3, U3, U5, U6, K2) Mid-semester reading and writing assignments (W3, U3, U4, U5) Integrated reading and writing end-of-semester test (W3, U3, U4, U5, U6, K2) Speaking and Listening Continuous assessment of student activity in classwork and Moodle work (W4, U7, U9, K3) Assessed prepared and improvised presentations (U7, U8) Mid-semester tests and end-of-semester oral test (W4, U7, U8, U9) Assessment criteria: Practical English course grades will be given in reference to the following criteria: fail – 0 – 59% satisfactory - 60 – 69% satisfactory plus - 70 – 75% good - 76 – 85% good plus - 86 – 90% very good - 91 – 100% The final grade in the course is assigned to the average of the three components’ percentages. The final test in every Practical English module is administered to determine the extent to which students have met the assumed learning outcomes. This test has to be passed for the successful completion of the course. Students who have failed a test are allowed one retake, which in case of the final test is administered in the retake examination session. The students are evaluated in accordance with the university regulations, and they must attend all course meetings in a classroom or a distance learning platform. Informed participation in class discussions – based on completion of the assigned reading and supportive collaboration with classmates – is also required. Each class absence has to be excused in the first week after the lesson missed. The final grade percentage will be reduced for every unexcused absence or assignment that a student has failed to complete. A grade average of at least 60% must be achieved to pass each Practical English module, so the students who have passed the final test but failed to obtain the required cumulative grade point average have to retake the final test and achieve the result sufficient to make up for the points lost due to unexcused absences or failing course assignments. Instructors are authorized to refuse credit when the student’s absenteeism rate is around 50% even if the absences have had valid reasons. Timely completion of assigned tasks is obligatory. In the case of assignments submitted after the deadline or re-submitted, the grade is lowered. NOTE: all the above principles apply to all kinds of classes: traditional classroom and all the forms of remote teaching situations. In case of online teaching, the tests may likewise be administered remotely in a form facilitating the verification of the achievement of learning outcomes. |
