    Basic philosophy: language is both a form given to thoughts and a tool for building and maintaining relationships. During both English courses, therefore, real issues are discussed while focusing both on what information content is conveyed and what social implications the interaction has. In other words, the aim is to behave in an effective and socially acceptable way in an English-language work environment.

    Two contact meetings in the classroom or online, some independent writing, and some discussion in small groups.
