The Integrated Skills course for 3BA studies is a proficiency level EFL course. Thus, the expectations concerning the level of fluency as well as linguistic (lexical/grammatical/phonetic) accuracy and complexity of structure are high. In order to enable students to meet the final examination requirements the following specifics are:
- to teach students a wide range of proficiency level vocabulary
- to encourage students to speak and express opinions logically and fluently
- to develop communication skills
- to teach how to give presentations (public speaking) and how to critically present and analyze a particular topic
- to teach control of spoken and pronunciation skills
- to encourage self-criticism, self-observation and self-monitoring to spot and self-correct mistakes
- to encourage students' discourse management skills
