Course objectives
In literature, there is not much attention paid to the issues connected to effective language acquisition. Most of the books are limited to common tips on revising or memorising the vocabulary, which is unfortunately not effective enough for the students of languages. The aim of this course is to introduce students to teaching methods, which could help with systematic and effective learning procedures when acquiring and developing the language competencies. The students will be introduced to general principles of language acquisition in terms of methodology and psychology of learning. The students will be introduced to the techniques, which will help them with systematic and effective learning, with keeping their portfolio and files updated and with mnemonics methods, etc.
