1- course  objectives :

This course is designed to refresh students knowledge in English through interesting and up-to-date topics using authentic texts and pertaining to the life of young adults at the University level. The course focuses on the four skills and encourages students to recycle grammar points and vocabulary items studied through out the course. This course teaches general English at the pre-intermediate to intermediate level.

 

2- The syllabus:

This course includes 14 units each focusing on one major topic and every two units are followed by a revision section that includes a language check and extra training. As well, each unit is divided into five sections: grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing, listening and speaking and pronunciation. Within each unit a central topic is approached from a variety of interesting angles, with the result that students learn about the real world and are encouraged to contribute from their own experience, opinions and feelings. Plenty of conversations, dialogues and other activities are used to reinforce the communicative approach.
