Programa (na língua de ensino) | Course description (in language of instruction)
In B1.1, students will be given ample opportunity to practice their listening, reading, speaking and writing skills. The topics of the homework and in-class exercises/assignments will ensure that students are able to apply these skills to the familiar or everyday situations that one may experience in an English-speaking country or whilst traveling.
By the end of the semester, students should upon completion of the unit be able to:
- listen: and understand the main points of clear standard speech on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure etc., including short narratives;
- speak: and a) exploit a wide range of simple language to deal with most situations likely to arise whilst traveling; b) enter unprepared into conversation on familiar topics, express personal opinions and exchange information on topics that are familiar, of personal interest or pertinent to everyday life;
- read: a) straightforward factual texts and/or short pieces of fiction with a satisfactory level of comprehension and b) understand the description of events, feelings and wishes in personal letters well enough to reply to correspondence;
- write: straightforward connected texts on a range of familiar subjects within his/her field of interest, by linking a series of shorter discrete elements into a linear sequence.
