Full-time form

Successful mastering of the course requires knowledge of general linguistic terminology and terminology; knowledge of the basics of modern English grammar; mastery of reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills at the level provided for by the program of I-III years of study (B2+).

English language learning takes place on the basis of the main provisions of the communicative approach to learning a foreign language using authentic materials and modeling real communicative situations. The principle of communicativeness is defined as the primacy of communicative goals within the four types of speech activity relative to the secondaries of language-thematic material as the basis for the further formation of the ability to communicate.
