Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

Learning outcomes: Through a variety of teaching materials, in-class activities and pair/group works, this course seeks to help students:
• Develop reading and writing skills in general and specialized English;
• Learn how to understand and handle short and of certain difficulty passages on Social Anthropology and History written in English;
• Carry out research on Social Anthropology and History in English in printed and electronic form (in the Library and the Internet respectively);
• Find and use general and specialist monolingual, bilingual and multilingual specialized dictionaries in printed and electronic form;
• Construct and maintain a personal bilingual Terminological Data Bank (TDB) and, thus, learn how to handle difficult terminology;
• Enhance their research and IT skills;
• Give briefings on the research they carry out (short oral presentations) in English on given (by the instructor) or pre-selected (by the student[s]) texts;
• Summarize in English and in Modern Greek short and of certain difficulty specialized texts with relative ease; and
• Enhance their abilities to render relatively short and of certain difficulty specialized English passages into Modern Greek, since they need to transfer the information and knowledge they acquire to their respective subject classes (other Courses) which are conducted in Modern Greek.

General Competences: 
• Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information (i.e. scientific terms) – through (printed or electronic) specialized scientific texts, using conventional media (e.g. Library) and the necessary technologies (e.g. Internet, electronic monolingual, bilingual and multilingual general and specialized dictionaries);
• Development of research skills in both English and Greek;
• Writing autonomous work (as summaries of English texts in both English and Greek) in the classroom; and
• Writing group work (as summaries of English texts in both English and Greek) in the classroom.
The ultimate goal of English I (ESP) is to enable students to move between (at least) two different linguistic, cultural and scientific systems with ease and comfort – i.e. English to Greek and vice versa, when required (e.g. in Erasmus +, Erasmus Placement and International Conferences).
