The aim of this course is to enhance the ability of students to study social and political science in English speaking universities, or universities providing courses in English language. The course will focus on speaking and reading skills through group discussions, presentations and debates where students apply an academic level of vocabulary to assigned texts. Lectures, videos/ audios and presentations will aim to fine-tune listening skills. Although assignments and class discussions cover concepts that are central to social and political science – such as international relations, state vs. nation, domestic politics, government institutions, discrimination issues, and social movements– all students who are looking to improve their academic English are welcome to join the course. Students are also expected to establish their own language awareness throughout the course, such as vocabulary, word combinations, useful phrases and idioms, as well as grammar forms and other aspects covered during discussion and analysis of the course topics and materials. Homework will primarily include grammar assignments and a few reading assignments for discussion.
