ENA2: Ihminen verkostoissa

 

The topics of this second course concentrate on physical, mental and social well-being, active lifestyles and managing your everyday life, both in reality and online. We’ll also take a look at new horizons through planning a trip to e.g. Down Under! Central grammatical issues are word order, formal subjects, personal pronouns, the passive, and prepositions of time and place. You’ll get tips for planning spoken or written presentations, effective small talk, pronunciation, and learn about the differences between British and American English. Your co-operative and project working skills will also get our full attention.
