Course content
The final exam in English involves checking the level of language proficiency at the phonetic level, where the level of compliance of oral speech with the phonetic standards of the British version of the English language is assessed. At the morphological level, the skills and ability to select the appropriate morphological units for the organization of both oral and written speech are assessed. At the syntactic level, the ability to correctly form minimal communicative units (sentences with observance of the rules of agreement of tenses and temporal determinants) is assessed. At the lexical level, the ability to select appropriate lexemes for the organization of both oral and written communication is assessed. Vocabulary, the ability to use linguistic terminology, and term systems of related fields of knowledge are also assessed. At the text level, the ability to correctly form oral and written both primary and secondary texts while maintaining textual coherence and cohesion is assessed.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The final exam in English takes the form of a comprehensive written test and open-ended tasks aimed at checking functional, language, and speech competencies in English. Types of tasks have different levels of complexity and are formed by blocks: reading, listening, writing, and speaking. According to the structure of the examination ticket, the final exam in English consists of three stages: 1. Written abstract of an English-language text of a general social nature; 2. Oral answer to a theoretical question within the scope of the studied material (without prior preparation); 3. Conversation on the proposed topic.
Assessment methods and criteria
