Methodologies

	Description
Introductory activities	Course presentation (aims, content, learning methods, assessment).
Lecture	Presentation and explanation (for each new item) of course contents, to support and complement practice with the acquisition of appropriate corresponding linguistic and meta-linguistic knowledge.
Problem solving, classroom exercises	Exercises completed in the class sessions (corrections will be explained in English, preferably by the students), to: (a) increase the student's degree of grammatical accuracy, (b) initiate training in basic description and analysis of the English language, and (c) detect and deal with any especially problematic aspects.
Previous studies	Reviewing and revising for written tests. Complementation (with brief readings) of class lectures.
Problem solving, exercises	Class exercises designed to check student's current knowledge and command of each new topic, and detect any areas which may require special attention.
Presentations / expositions	Students will be required to design an activity that will be presented orally in class. At the end of the course students will also have to submit a final report.
Personal tuition	Meetings to prepare for the presentation. Reviews of presentation and/or tests. Individual consultation of any course-related doubts or problems (in visiting hours).
