This unit provides a general introduction to the target language. It is intended:
Students will:
1. be able to communicate orally and in writing with a reasonable degree of accuracy and fluency.
2. be able to work at a basic level with authentic material and retrieve necessary information.
3. have acquired knowledge and awareness of the general social and cultural background of the target language
4. be able to understand and interpret written texts at a basic level
5. be able to respond to written texts at a basic level
Overall, students will attain a level comparable to A1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Learners will be involved in a variety of synchronous activities, mostly interactive with maximum use of the target language, but with attention devoted also to explaining the fundamentals of the target language’s structures. These activities will be supported and amplified by asynchronous e-learning opportunities and self-directed exercises.
The unit is based on a coherent scheme of work developed by the unit coordinator, which will be made available on Blackboard.
