No textbooks. Videos, news, articles etc. are used. Study materials are brought in both by the teacher and the students. Terminology study is supported with Quizlet sets created by the teacher. The students find job ads and select relevant topics for pitching.

Task-based studying supported by weekly contact sessions either in a classroom setting or online

Task-based assessment, no exam. All tasks must be completed acceptably, and active attendance and contribution are expected. Possibly a few small tests along the way on some limited subject areas (based on homework).

None

No exam and therefore also no re-exam.

All topics are related to the students' other ongoing studies and to their field of study. Employment & application procedures are specifically dealt with, and the course material seeks to expand the students' familiarity with career options in the field.
Basic philosophy: language is both a form given to thoughts and a tool for building and maintaining relationships. During the English course, 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.

Each week, some face-to-face time in the classroom or online, some independent writing, and some discussion in small groups. Approximately 2 h of contact time, 4 h of group working without teacher presence, and 3 h of independent studying and writing.

Weeks 43-49
