The topics addressed during the classes aim at arousing the interests of young adults: we shall speak about hobbies, leisure, holidays, studies and possible future professions, daily life and contemporary events, trips and relations with others, and the culture (that is, the habits and customs) of the countries that speak the target language.
This course will concentrate upon both communicative aspects and formal language correction (at the level of pronunciation and grammar, for example).
By the end of this learning unit, the student should have reached the "basic user" level in four areas:
