Detailed Course Information Justification for the proposal Maximum 80 words Curriculum evaluation and improvement Course Description Provide a brief overview of what is covered during the semester. This information will appear in the printed catalogs and on the web online catalog. Maximum 60 words. ENG 106 is the continuation of ENG 105. The aim of this course is to help students to gain a deeper understanding of the language use and a higher level of lexis through the use of various academic texts. Throughout the course, students will master linguistic accuracy to advance their academic abilities further in the four language skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking). The course content is organized to equip students with the necessary skills to express themselves both in oral and written form in an academic environment, as well as with the reading and listening strategies which will contribute to their overall academic success. Grammar instruction at an upper-intermediate level is also included in the course to provide students with a closer insight into more complicated rules and structures in English language and help them speak the appropriate language for academic studies throughout their university education.
