It also aims to raise awareness of the role of a foreign language in the educational process and in society. The course provides knowledge of the culture, history, social realities, and traditions of English-speaking countries, and develops students’ ability to employ a range of learning strategies to meet academic needs (e.g., working with textbooks, dictionaries, reference materials, and multimedia resources). It further promotes learners’ capacity for self-assessment and continuous self-improvement.
