Course summary

The course will help you to develop your general study skills, but most of all you will learn to communicate at a higher level in the language that you have chosen. You will also learn much more about a wide range of aspects of the society or societies in which the language is spoken. Reading - You will be able to read, understand and extract information from written passages in the target language which are taken from a range of authentic contemporary, historical and literary sources. These sources will cover a range of genres, including fiction and non-fiction material and with minor adaptation if necessary. The requirement to read, among other things, at least one work in the language of study will ensure that you are given the opportunity to develop the necessary and rewarding experience of reading. Listening - You will be able to listen to, and understand contemporary spoken language and answer questions on what you have heard. The passages that you will learn to listen to will be taken from a range of sources such as news reports on the radio or TV, weather forecasts, announcements, interviews and discussions. You will have the opportunity to listen systematically in the classroom and will be encouraged to do more listening in your own time through the wealth of material available on the internet. Speaking - You will develop competence in speaking the language through regular authentic use in the classroom. You will be encouraged to take risks and learn from your mistakes. Classroom conversations, discussions and debates will focus on issues arising from work on themes and individual research. You will meet regularly with the language assistant who will help guide you as you explore your Independent Research Project and build on your speaking skills.
