Programme

The course involves the study of English at the B2 level, focusing on enhancing technical, sector-specific vocabulary related to the performing arts (theatre and dance) and cinema.

This English language course is an ESP (English for Specific Purposes) course designed specifically for this degree program; consequently, grammatical topics are paired with vocabulary related specifically to theatre, cinema, and dance.
The two topics (grammatical and lexical) are interconnected and will therefore be studied together.

The grammar topics are:
- comparatives and superlatives,
- adjectives ending in -ed and -ing,
- "used to" and "would" (for the past),
- "to get used to", "to be used to",
- phrasal verbs (be, break, call, carry, come, drop, fall, get, go, hand, keep, look, make, pass, put, run, set, take, turn),
- conditionals (third conditional, inversions, and mixed conditionals),
- future perfect and future continuous,
- relative pronouns and defining/non-defining relative clauses,
- causative verbs,
- use of the infinitive and -ing forms,
- the passive voice.

The lexical topics — which are fundamental to this course and appear in both vocabulary definition exercises and reading comprehension tasks — are:
- vocabulary related to filmmaking and film genres,
- filmmaking and a brief history of cinema,
- the function of the soundtrack,
- careers for actors, directors, and producers,
- the film industry in the modern world,
- theatrical scenography (stage types, a brief history of theatre architecture, and set design),
- Stanislavski and Brook,
- Nijinsky.

The course involves developing the four language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening.

For this reason, students are expected to participate actively in classroom exercises, with the aim of improving their expressive fluency and confidence in interpersonal communication.
