Advanced-level course | |
lidaThis course is intended to boost the general linguistic competence of the advanced-level student across the four skills-reading, writing, listening, speaking. Above all, we are dedicated to enhancing the communicative skills of the students.
The method of teaching is the communicative approach. The teacher is never the sage on the stage. We always try to develop self-confidence, critical thinking, and cultural awareness in our students. Thus, the aim of the course is not just to provide the fundamentals of traditional grammar, but also to enculturate and uplift learners. An independent educator guarantees that standards are never compromised.
By the end of the course the student will have mastered the following skills:

SKILLS |
ACHIEVEMENT PERFORMANCE
|
|---|---|
|
LISTENING |
I can understand extended speech even when it is not clearly structured and when relationships are only implied and not signaled explicitly. I can understand television programs and films without too much effort. |
|
READING |
I can understand long and complex factual and literary texts, appreciating distinctions of style. I can understand specialized articles and longer technical instructions, even when they do not relate to my field. |
|
SPOKEN |
I can express myself fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions. I can use language flexibly and effectively for social and professional purposes. I can formulate ideas and opinions with precision and relate my contribution skilfully to those of other speakers. I can present clear, detailed descriptions of complex subjects integrating sub-themes, developing particular points and rounding off with an appropriate conclusion. |
|
WRITING |
I can express myself in clear, well-structured text, expressing points of view at some length. I can write about complex subjects in a letter, an essay or a report, underlining what I consider to be the salient issues. I can select style appropriate to the reader in mind. |
