Course Syllabus
Abstract
«English for General Academic Purposes. Advanced Course 3» for the 2nd year HSE University students is designed to develop foreign-language communicative, integrated academic, and critical thinking skills. The syllabus is based on the following documents: "Regulations for Interim and Ongoing Assessments of Students at the National Research University Higher School of Economics" and "Concept of Development of English-language Communicative Competence of HSE Students". Every student has slightly different needs, depending on their chosen discipline, cultural background, and other factors. However, the primary skills, tasks, and academic language are common to most disciplines and are relevant to the needs of most students preparing to study English at the university level. The course focuses on key tasks relevant to all university students, such as reading academic texts, taking notes on lectures, writing reviews, participating in academic discussions, etc. The course is designed to equip advanced level English learners with the reading, writing, and oral communication skills necessary to succeed in courses at university. The blended instructional model provides students with an inspiring collection of extensive authentic content. There are no blocking points of assessment.
