English 1

The first semester of English studies includes a broad introduction to the English language from multiple perspectives. The course includes teaching in culture, literature and language variation in the English-speaking world, and parallel practice in language proficiency. Teaching in linguistics, literature and language proficiency is delivered in the form of lectures and exercises in smaller groups, along with oral and written presentations. The students practise generic competencies such as independent work, critical thinking, oral and written communication skills, time management and analytical skills.
