| Learning outcomes |
|
The course Academic English for Intermediate Students in Humanities will help the students who do philology and literary theory and criticism, classics, history, philosophy, film and theatre studies, art history, musicology etc: better understand subject-related texts in English; clearly present the results of their research orally and in written form; learn to approach a subject-related text in English so that they could render an authentic translation of it.
According to the Common European Framework of Reference, the students who take the AAS course should begin at level B1 and are to reach level B2, that is: can understand the main ideas of a complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in their fields of specialisation; can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes interaction on a given, previously prepared, subject with native speakers quite possible; can explain their critical viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options; can take notes of an English subject-related text which they are reading or which is being presented; can also express their own critical thoughts on the given theme; can translate, with the use of a dictionary, a fairly difficult English subject-related text into their native language. |
