- Synopsis:
-
The AP2 course is based on AP1, thus extending the student´s skills for working with subtechnical texts, and even with professional texts of chosen branches of science. According to the students´ needs it concentrates on chosen grammar topics, but mainly intends to develop understanding of syntactic structures and typical rhetorical functions (e.g., various types of descriptions, and, if possible, a case study). Increasing emphasis is placed on the undergraduate´s independent work with and reading of linguistically more demanding materials. The course extends the student´s subtechnical vocabulary, and includes fundamental notions of chosen branches of science. It is focused on formal writing including the sentence and paragraph structure, linking, cohesion and coherence in texts.
- Requirements:
-
a pass in the AP1 course
- Syllabus of lectures:
-
Object and process description, experiment description, case study. Linking, paragraph structure, cohesion, coherence. Distinguishing formal and informal style, appropriate language for various purposes in oral and written communication.
- Syllabus of tutorials:
-
The course is run as a series of seminars following the topics and scope of the syllabus mentioned above.
- Study Objective:
-
Knowledge:
Morphology, syntax, and lexis at the level appropriate to the course, namely: tenses, compound sentences, words of foreign origin, basic terms in physics and chemistry, fundamentals of text grammar.
Skills:
To apply the acquired knowledge in everyday communication and in more professional contexts both in speaking and writing: to choose appropriate language structures depending on the type of discourse, apply various reading strategies depending on purpose, paraphrase a more professional text.
To qualify for admission to the higher level course.
