BBN-ANG-102: Language Practice (groups c, n & o) —Course Syllabus–2020/2021 Autumn Term LEKTOR—JULIAN SALANKI salanki2112@gmail.com Mon-Tue-Wed. (Room 414) Course Goals: This course is intended to develop your general English proficiency. It will focus on expanding your vocabulary, refining your knowledge of grammar, and developing your speaking skills. It will also partly prepare you for the Language Proficiency exam in May 2021. Course Description: The course book which will be used is Advanced Language Practice by Michael Vince (3rd Edition if possible). It is essential that you get a copy (softcopy is good, too) of the book and bring it to class. This book is an important resource for grammar and vocabulary practice. We will do many exercises from the book and use it in class. Other materials will be used in the sessions to supplement the course book, as well as being assigned as homework: these will be uploaded onto SEAS, the students then print them off. These may be readings, worksheets, etc. Classes will be mainly explicit and teacher-led. Come to class prepared to participate in activities and discussion. Requirements: Regular class attendance is required throughout the term. You may NOT miss more than 6 classes. If you miss class, it is your responsibility to find out what you missed from a peer and complete any necessary make-up work. Each week I will send you a worksheet to supplement your course material. Assessment: Tests x2—15% + 15% = 30% Weekly assignments, homework completion and participation 70% Grades: 2 = 35%-50% 3 = 50%-65% 4 = 65%-75% 5 = 75%+ Plagiarism policy Any instance of plagiarism is grounds for getting a fail mark on the given assignment and failing the course as well.
