Polish − Intermediate Polish
This course is aimed at students who have
completed about one hundred contact hours of
Polish. Students’ placement in this course may
be based on an entrance test (written and oral).
Dates and times of the test will be advised on
the course application form.
This course is offered to learners who already
have some knowledge of Polish grammar and
some communicative competence in the
language. The course is designed to extend
learners’ knowledge of Polish language and
culture, so as to enable them to read journalistic
and literary texts and speak Polish with a
reasonable degree of fluency.
The class is held once a week for two hours.
The total number of contact hours is forty-two
(twenty-one weeks). At the end of the course
students have an option of final written and oral
assessment, which may be one of the entrance
requirements in order to proceed to the next
level, advanced Polish.
This course will normally run if there is a
minimum of twelve students enrolled for the
year. Groups will normally be closed when
eighteen students have enrolled.
