My specialised courses – RECOMMENDED

Intensive Online Course for Polish Learners of English

After just 20 short lessons lasting between 15 and 25 minutes, you will gain knowledge in the following areas:

  • Language learning strategies – such as how to use the PELC Word-Phrase Table to store vocabulary and collocations
  • Personalisation – the benefits of creating personalised sentences which contain new vocabulary and collocations
  • The English Tense System – 95% of interactions in English take place in only four tense aspects – present simple, past simple, present perfect and present perfect continuous. You will have the chance to tell some stories about yourself using only these tense aspects
  • Polish to English language transfer – Many Polish learners of English are not aware of the effect their mother tongue has on the quality of their English. Language transfer theory refers to the manner in which learners transfer Polish word-order patterns and grammar structures into English. For example, many Polish learners of English might translate “bardzo lubię wiosnę” as “I very like spring”. The correct translation should be “I like spring very much”. This course explores the issue of language transfer and the types of mistakes Polish learners of English typically make
  • Connected speech – avoiding the isolated pronunciation of words in conversation
  • The schwa sound – an important factor when it comes to achieving fluency in English

High quality materials include:

  • My self-written texts – My self-written texts contain natural phrases and collocations often used by native speakers of English
  • TED talks – a great opportunity to analyse native speaker speech

The aim of this course is to help you become a self-directed and independent learner of the English language.

After the final session, there will be an opportunity for you to have your own texts, voice recordings and Word-Phrase Tables checked – for FREE!
