requirements & assessment
BBN-ANG-106: Language Practice (groups C, M and N) Course Syllabus 2021 Spring Term LEKTOR—Julian Salanki salanki2112@gmail.com Monday and Thursday (on MS Teams) 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 we use is Advanced Language Practice by Michael Vince (3rdEdition if possible). It is essential that you get a copy (softcopy is good, too) of the book. This book is an important resource for grammar and vocabulary practice. A number of units from the book will covered during 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, a Youtube video, etc. Classes will be mainly explicit, teacher-led but also with interactive periods when students work together to tackle some of the language tasks. Come to class prepared to participate in activities and discussion. Other materials: We will also study some rather advanced-level articles that have been adapted for you from the BBC website. Requirements: Regular class attendance is required throughout the term. You may NOT miss more than 5 classes. If you miss class, it will count against the participation score, and it is your responsibility to find out what you missed from a peer and complete any necessary make-up work. Cameras are not compulsory for the full session but please have them on at the beginning, the end and the times when you are actively participating. Assessment: Tests x2—20% + 20% + Speaking – similar to the end-of-term oral exam 10% = 50% Weekly assignments, homework completion and participation 50% Grades: 2 = 35%-49% 3 = 50%-64% 4 = 65%-75% 5 = 76%+ Plagiarism policy Any instance of plagiarism is grounds for getting a fail mark on the given assignment and failing the course as well.
