Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

This fourth semester English course is specially designed for the fourth semester students in the department of Educational and Social Policy, University of Macedonia, Thessaloniki, Greece. The aim of the course is to help students develop discipline specific skills that will enable them to communicate more effectively in the specialist field of their studies. In addition selected units from a specialized coursebook on oral presentations are used to introduce students to the basic principles of speaking in public and help them develop the appropriate oral presentation skills in academic situations.

All texts analysed are relevant to students’ field of studies. They are authentic and are taken from a variety of sources (i.e. magazines, articles, newspapers, the Internet, etc.). In each unit (six in total and an introductory unit) there is a detailed text analysis, accompanied by a variety of exercises, which aims at enabling students to discuss specialised subjects fluently in English from a critical point of view and master the academic jargon they contain. Some of the topics analysed in this course relate to lifelong learning and schools, autism, international education, Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s theories of development, etc.

Assessment is based on a written exam that students take at the end of the course.
