AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The second year laboratory picks up where the first laboratory left off. The lessons and exercises  will  consolidate all the  principal language skills, building on vocabulary  and  aspects of grammar  with  particular emphasis however on  oral production and authentic pronunciation. The goal is to arrive at a B1+ level at the end of the two years, thus providing a solid base from which  to work towards the B2 level  by the end of the five year course, which will in turn  enable students to teach English competently in  nursery and primary education

TEACHING METHODS

The lessons  will be in English using traditional teaching methods such as roleplay and  pairwork. Students  are encouraged to  actively participate in the lessons

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The lessons and exercises  will  consolidate all the  principal language skills, building on vocabulary  and  aspects of grammar  with  particular emphasis however on  oral production and authentic pronunciation. There will also be written assignments and listening exercises
