Teaching methodology

During the learning process students often work in pairs or groups to give them more opportunity to practice their speaking skills. We only use authentic audio materials and videos to teach the correct pronunciation. Since independent work and continuous studying are integral elements of the higher education studies, the learning process during this course is faster, therefore completing the course requires more independent work.

Approval and validity of subject requirements

Consulted with the Faculty Student Representative Committee, approved by the Vice Dean for Education, valid from: 10.10.2022.

Topics covered during the term

Mindennapi és munkahelyi kommunikáció, álláspályázat, telekommunikációs eszközök, hivatalos ügyintézés, részvétel társasági eseményeken. A nyelvi tárgyak esetében nem készülnek részletes tematikák, mert a tárgy célja a készségfejlesztés, és nem egy adott (tematizálható) tudásanyag frontális átadása. Ez ad lehetőséget arra, hogy a tematika az adott csoport igényeihez igazodjon, a tárgy céljainak megfelelően.
