AA : English: Linguistics I
In the first year, the focus of the linguistics course is essentially on verbs and the verb phrase (use of tenses, modal verbs, reported speech, the passive, non-finite forms of the verb - infinitives, gerunds and participles), the noun phrase (e.g. countable vs uncountable' nouns, use of determiners and pronouns), the adjective phrase and the adverb phrase. The students are also introduced to the sounds of the English language (in connection with English grammar). Special attention will be devoted to the metalanguage required to identify and describe the grammatical and linguistic phenomena under study.

AA : English: Practical exercises
Grammar and writing skills:
a) The students practise the structures and patterns covered in Linguistics I through translation or fill-in exercises. Some exercises are also designed to enhance the students' use of bilingual and monolingual dictionaries.
b) Writing exercises: well-structured (cohesion, paragraphs) and accurate formal and informal texts (formal and informal letters and messages, narrative and descriptive text, opinion pieces, summaries) in line with register conventions. The students are given regular feedback.
