- Project-based learning: students are guided in the study of English as a second/foreign language. They will be taught how to write a paper in linguistics on this topic (how to write a literature review, how to describe the data and methods used, how to present results with impact).

AA : English : Practical exercises
The exercise sessions will tackle the four language skills (speech, writing, reading, listening). Teacher-led sessions will emphasise productive skills (speech and writing) via a variety of activities: pronunciation exercises using up-to-date technologies, oral debates on current affairs, writing exercises linked to the topics tackled in the sessions. Students are required to create a weekly podcast to actively train oral proficiency skills.
In addition, students will continue to study the Oxford Word Skills Advanced (Oxford University Press) vocabulary book (see GERM1240A).

AA : English : Linguistics II
Collaborative work between the students and the teacher - the students will be guided along to study a specific aspect of learner language and will be shown how to write a paper in linguistics.
AA : English: Exercise sessions
Students will do a variety of activities in the teacher-led sessions (phonetics, oral debates, writing exercises, etc) and will combine this with weekly online tasks to be done individually or in groups (pronunciation, reading and listening).
