This course aims to provide students with the opportunity to improve listening, writing, reading and speaking skills in their relevant fields of study. A range of topics will be covered, depending on the needs and interests of the students, and could include, for example, the Climate Emergency, the Ukraine conflict, EU foreign policy, development in the Global South, China as a superpower, or Populism, nationalism and democracy. Potential topics will be discussed in week one. During the classes, there will be a major focus on assimilating information from diverse online sources. We will also spend time looking at techniques for writing essays, describing economic and political trends, as well as producing summaries and, outside class time, students will be asked to prepare written responses on a variety of issues related to the fields of politics and economics.
