By the end of the semester students should be able to:
Ask and answer predictable and factual questions;
Understand the general message of radio/TV news broadcasts;
Give a clear presentation on a chosen topic;

Write a letter of complaint;

In addition, we aim to:

Further develop students' study skills and ability to use reference materials, including online tools;
Encourage students to use the online resources available to them.

Programa

The B2.2 course aims to cover units 4, 5 and 6 of New Inside Out, a B2 (Upper Intermediate) level coursebook. We will specifically be using this book for the skills part of the course (i.e. reading, listening, writing and speaking). The themes we will be covering include: Challenges - Expeditions, Charities, Health; Rituals - Superstitions, Habits, Weddings; Eating - Food & Drink, Restaurants

•Speaking

The first lesson of each week will include the opportunity for students to take part in some in-class discussion about the themes being covered. In addition, in the second lesson of each week the class will be divided into smaller 'tutorial' groups which will meet on a rotating basis. These sessions will provide the opportunity for more involved discussion and will form part of students' oral evaluation. One or more of these discussion sessions (depending on class sizes) will involve students preparing a short presentation on a pre-selected topic.

•Listening

Emphasis will be placed on:
listening for gist – identifying the main ideas in a talk;
demonstrating an understanding of what students have heard (and/or watched) by answering oral and written questions;
distinguishing between spoken and written registers of English;
predicting focus and listening for supporting ideas

This skill will be developed using a variety of audio texts and videos of varying length and difficulty.

•Reading

Emphasis will be placed on:
scanning texts for specific information;
working out the meaning of unfamiliar lexical items through context and other means;
looking at collocation

Reading texts will mainly be drawn from the coursebook but will be supplemented with other materials as the teacher sees fit

•Writing

Emphasis will be placed on:

Developing awareness of different registers
Planning the structure of an article
How to express opinion
Using discourse markers


•Grammar:

The course will focus on the following areas of language:

Passives, Modal Verbs, verb patterns (-ing forms c/w infinitives), nouns and articles, prepositions, conditionals and reported speech: this grammar will be taken from the second half of Oxford Practice Grammar

In addition, students will be expected to recognise and correct simple errors of grammar and spelling, especially those arising from Portuguese interference.

Melhoria de classificação

There is no final exam during the 'Época Normal' and, therefore, there is also no 'recurso' exam.

Observações

Working students will be able to do the composition, Use of English and Listening exams on the morning of Saturday 9th June. They will be expected to sign up for an oral exam on one of the (week)days allocated for orals along with all the other students. If working students are unable to participate in the in-class discussions, then the oral exam will be worth 40/120 (rather than 20/120).
