Content:

Building on the skills and knowledge acquired in PPOCS 1, this course focuses on interactive speaking skills and formal presentations. It discusses characteristic features of spoken language and provides ample opportunity for practice.

Communicative language practice based on the discussion of theoretical concepts, presentations, role plays.
