English 09-ANGHISP-14
The objective of these classes is to improve the students' practical knowledge of the English language. After completing the classes, the student will have an excellent command of the English language at an advanced level, with a very good ability to understand spoken language. The student will know vocabulary to the extent that will allow him/her to fully understand the English language as well as producing utterances in it - both colloquial, everyday English and also the formal form of it used, for example, in official media language.
The student will acquire a full knowledge of the complexities of English grammar and will be capable of producing correct sentences on a wide variety of subjects. As far as understanding is concerned, the student will be able to understand the kind of English he or she is exposed to on British or American radio and television broadcasts.
Due to the emphasis put on vocabulary and the constant exposure to original BBC recordings, the student will even be able to understand utterances spoken very fast and occurring in difficult circumstances, for instance, during a telephone conversation.
The knowledge the student acquires in the classes and his/her experience gained during the course of his/her education, allow him to continue to further improve his/her linguistic abilities on his/her own. Having completed the English course, the student's linguistic knowledge, if continued through his/her efforts, will lead to a knowledge of the language that is at a level close to that possessed by a native speaker of English.
