Annotation
The course is suitable above all for science-oriented students who reached at least the B1 level. Except for continuing with grammar, the goal of this course is to introduce specific vocabulary with respect to science and academic communication in English.
The grammar level is around B2, i.e. on the border of FCE and is a part of every lesson. Participants’ vocabulary is deepened with the use of authentic, science-oriented texts which are included in another part of the seminars.
The effective communication means writing abstracts, annotations and formal and informal emails writing rules.
