The course is aimed at students who have passed the course ‘General English’ (1 semester/2 semester). Students are expected: to know main linguistic terms and be able to apply linguistic inventory to their analysis; to know a range of lexis and grammatical forms required to understand video recordings at B2 level (CEFR); to demonstrate listening comprehension in a variety of registers.

The course is designed to improve the general level of English, further develop listening and speaking skills and raise cultural awareness. The course is focused on combining different types of speech activities and improving the skills of interpreting and processing information through visualization. It includes a variety of videos, which cover a wide range of areas of communication.
