3) Discuss familiar/social issues and express their own opinions clearly using a wide range of vocabulary and expressions;
4) Comprehend most daily conversations spoken at natural speed both in formal and informal settings.

This module will focus on both oral and aural skills with special emphasis on spoken communication skills. Oral skills will be developed through speech presentations and discussions on various personal and social topics. Both collective and individual pronunciation clinics will be provided. Aural skills will be also consolidated through listening dialogues, news and other authentic/semi-authentic materials.
