Course objectives
The subject English 5 follows on from the subject English 4 and its aim is to continue to develop the students' already acquired knowledge. Emphasis is placed on the grammatical-lexical side of the language and the harmonious development of all four language skills (listening, reading, writing, speaking) so that students communicate intelligibly and grammatically correctly in common situations, both orally and in writing, at the given language level. The topics discussed reflect areas five and six of the recommended literature. These topics will be expanded with other additional materials reflecting the specific needs of students so that they deepen their knowledge of the studied field, but also their knowledge of English-speaking countries in Europe and the world, and strengthen their awareness of the existence of different cultures and societies in the contemporary multicultural world. The subject ends with a credit test. The exit level of the subject corresponds to level B2, and the aim of the whole series of English I-V subjects is for students to reach language level B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student demonstrates: - achievement of language level B 2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference, - ability to communicate in English at level B2. Can use language fluently, accurately and effectively and express themselves on a wide range of general, academic, professional or recreational topics and clearly indicate relationships between ideas. Can communicate spontaneously and grammatically correctly without apparently having to limit the scope of what he/she wants to say and chooses a level of formality appropriate to the circumstances. Can participate in a conversation fluently and spontaneously enough to hold a normal conversation with native speakers and maintain relationships with them without undue effort on the part of the communication participants. Can indicate the importance he attaches to events and experiences, clearly explain and defend opinions with appropriate arguments.
