Learning outcomes of the Course Description
course unit This course is intended for use by students preparing for real world
communication. Language enhancement activities combine some of the most
stimulating recent ideas from the world with a strongly task- based approach.
Based on the communicative approach, and drawing on the best of current
thinking and practice, Face2face prepares students for real world
communication.
The presentation and practice of vocabulary and grammar are of equal
importance and there is a strong focus on listening and speaking with an
emphasis on 'real world' language for social situations. Face2face is also fully
compatible with the Common European Framework of Reference for
Languages and gives students regular opportunities to evaluate their progress.
The listening and reading material provides fresh new angles on universal
topics and students are given numerous opportunities to practice new
language through a wide variety of communicative activities, many of which
are personalised.
. This course will further give the students the opportunity to speak on general
topics, to communicate in English speaking world. The course includes
integrated activities in a form of texts, letters, forms, contracts, tests etc. Role
plays and case studies are regular features of each unit. Throughout the
course, students are encouraged to use their own experience and opinions in
order to maximize involvement and learning. They reinforce and consolidate
what has been heard, said, written and seen, thus teaching four main skills of
language: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Grammar section is intended to give practical aid to students. There are
optional extra components, including a Business Grammar and Usage book, a
DVD-ROM and a series of special subject books to develop vocabulary and
