This first semester course intends to consolidate and expand the students' knowledge of grammar and vocabulary through exposure to a variety of texts ranging from newspaper articles to literary extracts, differning in register and style (to include very colloquial and very formal examples). Oral and aural skills will also be emphasised through special classes in which students watch clips from films or television programmes, or listen to extracts from radio programmes and are encouraged to discuss and analyse their contents.
