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 degree of accuracy and fluency when dealing with immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need
2. be able to work at a basic level with routine 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 A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
This unit will be taught online only in 2021-22. 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.
A course book clearly identified for this level by the Language Director. The unit is based on a coherent scheme of work developed by the unit coordinator, which will be made available on Blackboard.
