What will we do? Systematic work with grammar: 🔹 we practice irregular forms, word formation, complex case constructions 🔹 we model "living" language - such as in the media, scientific texts, official communication 🔹 we work on using grammar in spontaneous speech Vocabulary and idioms: 🔹 vocabulary is more complex: abstract, formal, emotionally rich 🔹 idioms - at the level of native speakers: stable expressions, euphemisms, sarcasm, stylistic features 🔹 we train lexical and grammatical patterns that give the effect of "advanced speech" Phonetics and pronunciation: 🔹 individual work with articulation and intonation 🔹 exercises on accentuation, phrase rhythm, "connected speech" 🔹 we practice the pronunciation of "difficult" words and train "ease of speech" Practical application: 🔹 analysis of authentic materials: interviews, fragments of lectures, columns 🔹 discussions, roles, argumentation – like in real life 🔹 we prepare for official situations – speeches, debates, interviews, training
