Blended Learning: 1 x 2 face-to-face lessons + preparation and ca. 2 online lessons (Moodle) - the time required for the online work relates also to the individual approach and level of the English knowledge of a particular student.
The work in the course is divided into the face-to- face lessons and self-study activities – the online part focuses mainly on practising the individual grammar issues and preparation for the face-to-face lessons, whereas the face-to-face lessons focus on expressing and deducing the individual rules and their interactive implementation. You will need to work in Moodle at least twice a week - before and after the lesson at school.
Before the beginning of the course the students will be sent an email with the information on signing into Moodle and relating to the organization of the whole course.
