1- course objectives :
This
course teaches general English at the intermediate to post-intermediate level.
It builds up on the previous course (English 1). Longer readings and more
complex grammatical points are introduced through interesting and up-to-date
topics using authentic texts pertaining to young adults at the university
level. It focuses on the four skills and encourages students to use English
learned in class communicatively.
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.
