This course is about understanding each other, delivering opinions as well as discussing current affairs in English. You are given a chance to choose topics and methods for the course during the first lesson and the course is mainly built on that.

The course is based on your presence, activity and contribution so you will only get the course credit on these bases.
We mostly talk and practise vocabulary and listening, but there will be some writing. Your wishes have been granted, as the topics and working methods will be based on them.

There will be a visitor during two or three classes and we will pay some visits to a few places.

The final exam day TUE 29th November: there will be a separate schedule for it later on. There will be writing, reading, listening and commenting/ discussion tasks.

Evaluation PASS/FAIL. To pass the course, no absences (max one week) and your activity is very much needed during the lessons.
