| Methodologies | Description |
| Introductory activities | Initial contact with the course contents. Different activities will be conducted to obtain relevant information from/about the students' level of competence in English. This information will be used to articulate the different teaching strategies to favor a comprehensive and effective learning. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Lecture classes, supported by A/V technologies, including questions and discussions that help students to acquire general knowledge and specific contents. |
| Seminar | Practical classes aimed at developing speaking, writing, reading and listening skills using a topic from the course contents or others that may be of general interest. Students will participate in these seminars every week, so that they are able to practise all skills uninterruptedly. |
| Directed discussion | Oral activities in small groups, monitored by Teaching Assistants, in which students' speaking skills are put into practice. Informal, spontaneous, and natural conversations and debates are to be expected in these sessions. |
| Workbook | This includes all the reading material students required for out of class preparation for reading comprehension activities, as well as other readings in English students use in other subjects or in other situations. Students are strongly encouraged to read as much and as often as possible. |
| Supervised projects | Students will prepare a group project about a specific topic. Further details will be provided at the beginning of the course . The aim of this activity is to foster students' autonomous and collaborative learning. |
