Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course VCJ/ATPE2 is to develop language, communication and presentation skills. This course focuses on selected topics from the field of environmental ecology. It includes basic terminology and phraseology related to the topics and emphasizes presenting the topic to an audience (word choice and grammatical structures, stress, intonation, non-verbal communication, etc.) It develops language skills at the B2 level. Language skills are developed at the B2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The VCJ/ATPE2 course does not build on ATPE1, so it can be completed even before VCJ/ATPE1.
Acquisition of specific terminology on the B2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference.
