E-LEARNING

Taking into account the increasing role of technology in education, the student will learn to design an online course on an e-learning platform. He or she will be able to use the most effective training strategies and to put them into practice by means of the e-learning system, which is a proven method of accompaniment in language teaching and in the teaching of information technology (IT).

 CINEFORUM AND BOOK CLUB

Students will increase their vocabulary in a fun way through the cineforum and the book club: they will be enabled to talk in a very spontaneous and natural way in the language they study and to develop significantly their ability of linguistic expression. Using visualisation in teaching is useful because memorising new lexis is facilitated by joining the words with the corresponding images.

A further outcome of the course is the sharpening of listening skills. All of this contributes to the ultimate goal of being able to communicate easily and fluently.

CONVERSATION WEEKS

The conversation lessons support the ability of oral expression and the increase in vocabulary in the following languages: German, English, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian and Croatian.

Moving from one level to another or from one language to another one, the student will have an opportunity to leverage his or her own linguistic resources and to make progress towards mastering fluent communication in these languages.
