Unit description
This unit presents an in-depth overview of Polish grammar and develops skills of written and oral expression at intermediate level. It includes a survey of the grammatical categories and syntactic structures of contemporary Polish with relevant exercises, as well as practice in reading and listening comprehension, conversation, and writing. The unit uses a variety of delivery modes such as printed materials, a recorded CD as well as computer-mediated communication. A voluntary on-campus session will be held, where students will have the opportunity to meet the lecturer and fellow students to revise material, practice speaking skills and pronunciation. Interstate students will have an opportunity to revise the material in their online unit.
