The course focuses on building vocabulary, re-enforcing grammar, developing reading and listening with understanding and promoting speaking. It works primarily with common English, i.e. the language used in everyday situations by native speakers. The course VCJ/AIII3 can be also used as part of preparation for the Oxford Test of English.
Acquisition of language knowledge on the B2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference.
