Report on the work under the project "Improving competencies of students of the Faculty of Chemistry in response to the needs of the labour market" in the winter semester of the academic year 2016-2017
As part of the project entitled "Raising the competencies of students of the Faculty of Chemistry in response to the needs of the labour market" co-financed by the European Union under the European Social Fund, the following types of language courses were implemented in the Foreign Language Department of Wrocław University of Science and Technology in the winter semester of the academic year 2016-2017:
Technical English course at B2 level preparing participants for the Mondiale exam. The course lasts 52 hours.
Conversational course in specialist English in the working environment at B1/B2 level . The course lasts 24 hours.
Conversational course in specialist academic English at C1 level. The course lasts 12 hours.
In winter semester 9 groups were formed - 3 of each type of course. They were attended by a total of 90 students of the Faculty of Chemistry. The language courses were conducted by qualified staff from the English Language Department of SJO PWr.
We would like to thank all the presenters - Ms Magdalena Kondro, Ms Izabela Koszutska, Ms Joanna Leszkiewicz, Ms Dorota Pytel, Ms Alicja Mazurkiewicz, Ms Aleksandra Więckowska and Mr Aleksander Brzózka - for the effort of preparing the programmes and conducting these, very demanding, specialist courses in English.
The written part of the Mondiale exam took place on 14 January 2017, while the oral exam took place on 21 January 2017. The organizational side on behalf of SJO was handled by Ms Joanna Leszkiewicz - Certification Officer. 30 students took the exam. Thanks to the excellent preparation of the students by our tutors, most of them achieved a result at the C1 level.
We would like to thank all the people who devoted their time on Saturdays to supervise the Mondiale exams: Beata Czachorowska, Izabela Koszutska, Agnieszka Krzos, Joanna Leszkiewicz, Agnieszka Mędrecka-Kondak, Aleksander Brzózka and Piotr Reizer.
Special thanks go to the SJO management for providing the infrastructure thanks to which the courses could take place in appropriate teaching conditions.
Through the departmental Project Manager, Ms Magdalena Furmanek, we received very positive comments on our courses from students, which proves their high substantive and organisational level.
