BBN-ANG-106: Language Practice (Groups c, m, n) Course Syllabus—2022 Spring Term LEKTOR—Julian Salanki salanki2112@gmail.com Course Goals: This course is intended to advance 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 2022. Course Description: The course book we use is Advanced Language Practice by Michael Vince (4th Edition). Make sure that you get a copy (softcopy is good, too) of the book. This book is an important resource for grammar and vocabulary practice as a some of units from the book will be 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, YouTube videos, 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 should NOT miss more than 4 classes. If you miss 5 classes or more, your participation score will suffer; and it is your responsibility to find out what you missed from a classmate and complete any necessary make-up work. Assessment: 2 written tests—15% + 15% Speaking test (as end-of-term) 15% = 45% Homework completion 30% Participation 25% = 55% Grades: 2 = 42%-54% 3 = 55%-67% 4 = 68%-79% 5 = 80%+ Plagiarism policy Any instance of plagiarism is grounds for a fail on the given assignment and failing the course as well.
