Oral production (B2) is the core competence of this course. Students will be able to give a detailed description and presentation on a range of topics related to a field of interest/study, developing and justifying ideas with relevant secondary points and examples.
The presentation is followed by an interaction task with the class and/or the teacher on the subject in question (debate, etc.).
The following two skills were achieved with SELVB202 and SELVB302 course will aim to maintain these skills:
Reading comprehension (B2):
- Can read with a high degree of independence, adapting reading speed and mode to different texts and purposes, and using appropriate references selectively.
- Have a wide and active reading vocabulary, but may have difficulty with infrequent expressions.
Listening comprehension (B2):
- Can understand spoken language on live or broadcast radio, on familiar and unfamiliar topics normally encountered in personal, social, academic or professional life. Only very loud background noise, inappropriate speech structure or the use of idiomatic expressions can influence the ability to understand.
- Can understand the main ideas of complex formal and substantive speeches in standard language, including technical discussions in his/her field of specialization, and follow a speech of some length and a complex argument, provided the topic is fairly familiar and the general outline of the presentation is indicated by explicit markers.
Written production (B1+) will continue to be used as a means of carrying out various tasks throughout the year.
