Throughout the semester, students will perform individual and pair/group work to complete comprehension, production and interactions tasks to develop their language competence in matters of personal relevance (e.g. basic description of people, likes and dislikes,habits and routines, countries and activities) . In doing so, students will begin to develop some intercultural awareness of cultural differences in relation to these topics and a range of transferable and life-long learning skills. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
