Course overview

The course is designed to complete 6 units of the book in 40 hours. Each unit includes 6 hours of class, for a total of 36 hours. 2 additional hours for mid-term exam and its review and 2 hours for end-of-course exam and its review.

Methodology

The course is organized around a textbook developed by Cambridge (Face2Face).

Interesting topics and situations give students the opportunity to exchange ideas and thoughts by producing speech in English, thus allowing students to speak fluently and confidently.

Other skills, such as: reading, listening and writing receive an equal amount of attention; our goal is to enhance comprehension at all levels.Face2Face uses the Cambridge English Corpus for its exercises, its vocabulary programme is designed to fit the English Vocabulary Profile so that students learn the language they really need to know at each level of the CEFR.
