Unit description
This unit is for students with little or no prior knowledge of the language. During the unit students will be introduced to Polish grammar, reading, writing and conversation. The unit uses a variety of delivery modes such as printed materials, recorded CDs (in mp3 format), and computer-mediated communication. A voluntary on-campus session will give students the opportunity to meet their lecturer and fellow students, as well as practice speaking skills and pronunciation, and revise material before the exam. Interstate students will find the revision material in their online unit.
