Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Content:

Building on the skills and knowledge acquired in PPOCS 1, this course focuses on interactive speaking skills and formal presentations. It discusses characteristic features of spoken language and provides ample opportunity for practice. Students will continue to work on their pronunciation and will learn to make effective use of intonation, voice, turn-taking devices, and lexico-grammatical means to interact successfully in conversations and formal discussions. Depending on the lecturer the course will have a mainly American or British English focus and students are advised to choose according to their own preferences.

- to have practical analytical skills, e.g. for monitoring own speech and for error analysis in the speech of others

Methods:

Communicative language practice based on the discussion of theoretical concepts, presentations, role plays.
