Full-time form

The course is designed for students who have studied English at secondary school and during the first semester and who possess an appropriate level of preparation. Students are expected to have the following knowledge: - basic linguistic terminology; - principles of linguistic analysis; - key features of the semantics and functioning of language units at all levels of English. Students should be able to: - communicate in English at the B1 level; - apply linguistic tools in practice. Students are also expected to demonstrate basic skills in: - selecting, analyzing, and interpreting linguistic data; - communicating on linguistic topics.

The aim of the course is to train highly qualified philologists and English language teachers for higher and secondary education, with a strong focus on developing linguistic and methodological competences. The course is designed to broaden students’ intellectual horizons and enhance their theoretical and methodological training. Particular attention is given to lexical, grammatical, and stylistic analysis of texts, as well as to the systematization and consolidation of linguistic knowledge. The course explores the interrelation of language levels, stylistic and semantic features of syntax, and issues of textual coherence. Instruction is based on a communicative approach, incorporating authentic materials and the simulation of real-life communicative situations. The course is delivered through practical classes and supported by independent student work.

Learning activities throughout the semester include: - independent and creative tasks completed as part of self-study; - midterm assessment in the form of written tests covering four components of language competence; - active participation and performance in practical classes.
