The course is focused on balancing the heterogeneous entry skills of students and creating additional prerequisites for the further development of general and professional communication. It focuses mainly on the practice and development of language resources (with emphasis on grammar and vocabulary) and speech skills (with emphasis on speaking and reading comprehension).
