OVERVIEW

The course aims to provide students with a linguistic and cultural preparation of a theoretical and pragmatic nature which, in relation to communication skills, reaches level A2.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims at a linguistic preparation which, in relation to communicative competence, reaches the A2 level, in order to allow the student: a) to have a more confident command of the language in a wide range of situations; b) to discuss interactively on practical matters expressing the personal point of view, their agreement or disagreement; c) to describe lived experiences and events as well as future projects, motivating the reasons succinctly; d) to produce a simple text concerning the family environment or the sphere of particular interests.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, the student should acquire most of the skills provided for in the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) at A2 level.

PREREQUISITES

The course is primarily intended for students of the second year of Modern Languages and Cultures who have passed the Polish I exam.

TEACHING METHODS

Theoretical Module: 30 hours of theoretical lectures (I semester) - it is provided for students who choose the course for 9 credits
Lecture: 80 hours of language exercises (40 in the first semester and 40 in the second semester) - it is provided for students who choose the course for 6 or 9 credits

In the first semester, the course will be held remotely through the Teams and Aulaweb platforms. In the second semester, unless otherwise indicated due to the evolution of the health situation, the course will take place in traditional (in presence) mode.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The course presents the notions of descriptive grammar of the Polish language foreseen at level A2, including elements of phonetics, phonology, nominal inflection, verbal inflection, the system of numerals, adjectives and adverbs, and some notions of syntax. Thanks to the use of the communicative approach from the beginning of the course, particular attention is paid to the interaction in the Polish language in the various communication situations provided for at level A2. All new grammar topics are placed in a communicative context.
