This course is designed to develop your oral skills (listening, speaking, critical thinking and discussing) - using English in academic contexts. We will listen to audio and video recordings focusing on various aspects of academic topics, such as linguistics, behavioural science, psychology, international relations and others. You are invited to provide texts (lecture, introductory videos, podcasts) from your own discipline or area of studies and discuss these with the other students.
