Interactive English Reception

|
The main aim of this course is to improve listening comprehension skills. Students are expected to acquire listening comprehension skills required for understanding TV news, and abilities to analyse the structure of TV news and, based on the analysis, to summarise it.
|
|
|
|
Materials used on this course are BBC TV news clips. Classes are given in seminar-style and all in English. Students work in pairs and, under the teacher's supervision, analyse the structure of the news, summarise it, and orally present the summary in class. Students submit written versions of their summaries on a regular basis. The last two weeks are reserved for 'Active Learning'; towards the end of the term, students read, analyse, summarise the designated materials (see below), and compile the results of their work in the form of two separate papers, which they submit by the deadline that will be announced in class at the beginning of the term.

Students must attend the class every week having done all the preparations that the teacher designated the week before. When using dictionaries, attention must be paid to pronunciation as well as meanings. Towards the end of the term students take a revision test, for which reviewing everything they have so far learned is essential.

|
|
Every week students must attend the class having done all the preparations that the teacher has designated. Absence without justifiable reasons is not acceptable. Attending the first session is an absolute must, as everything that students need to know about this course will be explained to them during that session.
