COURSE CONTENT:
1) General English
The key concept is communication. We use task-based, collaborative and humanistic approaches to create a positive learning environment where the focus is on practical classroom activities. All aspects of English language skills are covered – speaking, listening, reading, writing and mediation, as well as pronunciation vocabulary and grammar activities through a variety of mediums.
2) AI - Module
Students will combine English language development with the practical use of Artificial Intelligence tools in education and daily life. Using task-based and collaborative methods, participants improve their communication skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing, mediation) while learning to use AI for simple classroom tasks, translation, and interaction. Activities include creating short projects with AI (quizzes, worksheets, lesson ideas), practicing English by talking to AI tools (ChatGPT, Google Translate, Siri/Alexa), and discussing familiar technologies (smartphones, apps, recommendations). A supportive, international environment encourages sharing of experiences and ideas. Progress is monitored through self-evaluation, tutorials, and guided feedback, ensuring participants leave with both improved English and practical AI skills for their professional context
