Grammar 3
The focus of the course is on effective use of various elements of the
English grammar system and on students’ awareness of their value.
Students
study the problems listed below from Cambridge Proficiency exam
preparation
books as well as teacher oriented language awareness and grammar
materials. An
important variation to the CPE types of tasks is translation (both
Eng.>
Pol. and Pol.> Eng.), which is planned to be the leading feature
of the
course. This works towards students’ awareness of stylistic differences
resulting from their grammatical choices. All homework is supposed to
be saved
in a file for further reference or inspection. Students are given two
big tests
in a semester, as well as
several
short quizzes on recently covered material (two classes back).
No
re-sits
are offered. Students whose end-of-year
results are below the 60% pass-mark have ONE opportunity to verify
their score
in a test. An unexcused absence at a 'big' test results
in a score of 0 points which is included in the grading system. Only a
medical document with an official
doctor’s stamp informing of an illness (not medical tests!) will be
accepted.
