Beschreibung:	This course is designed to enhance participants' self-confidence in using the English language in a variety of everyday situations. It emphasizes conversation, role-playing, and group work to develop speaking and listening skills. Participants will expand their vocabulary and improve their ability to express themselves through simulations of common scenarios encountered in English-speaking environments. Grammar is integrated as a tool to support effective communication. This course offers an engaging and practical approach to language learning, empowering students to navigate real-life situations with confidence and fluency. To complement in-class activities, chats and forums on Moodle offer additional opportunities for written exchange. These online platforms encourage students to articulate their ideas, express opinions, and engage in meaningful discussions outside the classroom. The final assessment consists of an individual or paired presentation on a selected topic, followed by a peer-led discussion and a question-and-answer session. This activity is typically conducted on the last day of the course and serves as an opportunity for students to demonstrate their verbal communication skills, clarity of expression, and ability to engage with an audience.
