Learning outcomes
|
Learning outcomes of the course unit The course provides broadening and deepening knowledge of English professional terminology for communication at international level. Effective reading and understanding of English scholarly texts followed by discussion contributes to improving the ability to read and understand English-language scholarly literature, expressing their opinions in a meaningful and articulated manner. Students learn to classify foreign language information and work with it. Great emphasis is placed on the ability of students to create and deliver presentations and grasp selected topics so that they can withstand dignity in an environment where English as "lingua franca" is the language of international communication. The course is focused on the development of general and professional communication, logical thinking, accurate expression and language feeling. The consolidation and deepening of grammar and lexical resources will be carried out, among other things, in the form of substitution, transformation or translation exercises from a selected English textbook, with essential support for the e-learning environment and authentic audio-visual activities. Students will deepen active and passive English medical and interdisciplinary terminology in given topics. Students gradually acquire competence to use language as a professional discourse; they are prepared for professional activities requiring communication in professional English. Students will understand the medical and interdisciplinary language, understand English medical or non-medical texts and will be familiar with the techniques of professional translation. Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to provide students with competences in the field of professional language at level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
Students obtain knowledge in given course in accordance with requirements and course programme.
