The course aims to develop students’ English language competence to an upper-intermediate level (B2+ CEFR), focusing on four key areas: collocations, phrasal verbs, idiomatic expressions, and the analysis of audiovisual media. 1. Collocations: students will broaden their theoretical and practical understanding of common word combinations (e.g. basic concepts and communicative functions) and learn to use collocations in context across domains such as travel, the environment, relationships, work, and study (Dublin Descriptors 1 and 2). 2. Phrasal verbs: the course will enhance knowledge of multi-word verbs (e.g. key verbs and particles) and their appropriate usage in authentic contexts such as emotions, health, sports, time, and business (Dublin Descriptors 1 and 2). 3. Idiomatic expressions: students will develop a deeper understanding of idioms and figurative language, learning to recognise and use them effectively in thematic contexts such as clothing, entertainment, and professional life (Dublin Descriptors 1 and 2). 4. Media: through the analysis of a television series, students will engage with spoken English, narrative structures, and character development, enhancing their listening and interpretive skills (Dublin Descriptors 1, 2, and 3). The main language skills practised will be speaking, writing, reading, and listening comprehension (Dublin Descriptor 2). The course also supports the development of critical awareness in language use across different communicative contexts (Dublin Descriptor 3), the improvement of communicative competences in a foreign language (Dublin Descriptor 4), and learner autonomy through the acquisition of tools and strategies for independent language learning beyond the university setting (Dublin Descriptor 5).
