Course objectives
The content of the course is intended primarily for those interested in expanding vocabulary. Without a sufficiently broad vocabulary, properly experienced and automated, it is not possible to achieve fluency of speech and it is also difficult to express oneself in writing. The content of the course is to expand the vocabulary of participants in a targeted and, if possible, engaging way in the form of insight into various thematic areas and disciplines. If the participants manage to expand their passive vocabulary, the teaching will fulfill its goal. If the same works with active vocabulary, the teaching will fulfill its goal without fail. Computer skills, creative thinking and the desire to play are welcome.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- expand passive vocabulary;
- expand active vocabulary;
- improve fluency of speech;
- improve writing;
