The course covers the main grammar areas (tenses, nouns, pronouns, quantifiers, demonstratives, articles, infinitive vs gerund, reported speech, conditionals, the passive, modal verbs and prepositions), including more sophisticated uses of the grammatical structures. The coverage of each grammar area consists of the theoretical and the practical part, in both of which students are expected to participate actively on the basis of pre-read reference materials. Aims: Students are supposed to use the grammatical structures accurately and in the appropriate context, and also to be able to explain the form and use of a particular grammatical structure and give their own example sentences. Students should know the grammatical structures well enough to communicate successfully, and should be capable of distinguishing between written and spoken language. Assessment will be continuous on the basis of regular grammar tests (after each main grammar area), short quizzes, semester tests, homework assignments and active participation in class activities.
