Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to understand long texts on a variety of topics that have quite advanced structural and lexical requirements. In addition, they will be able to distinguish the main content of the text and find specific points in it. Furthermore, students will be able to discuss various themes, give accounts of their experiences, express and justify their own opinions, ask specifying questions during the conversation, and obtain additional information that they may require.
Contents
During the course, students read texts mainly connected to current affairs or Finnish culture, analyse the texts’ content and vocabulary, and discuss the issues raised. In addition, students give short presentations and engage in other conversational exercises in groups or pairs.
