Course content
Course structure
The course is divided into four components - subject language study, general communicative skills, background studies, and specific vocational needs. Students gain the ability to cope with the basic structures of the respective language in spoken, written and aural communication. Textbooks, newspapers, magazines, television and radio recordings provide a relevant cultural, social and professional framework in which the language is practised.
During the sessions - normally two hours per week - students take part in role-play, pair and group work, and simulation exercises. They make both formal and informal presentations requiring a substantial amount of preparation time, and conduct research into appropriate topics. A range of activities is designed to reflect students' specific professional interests.
