The manual “Bridge to Success: English for International
Studies Students” (Year 2) learning goals were to proceed with
developing a special course of the English language for the
students of International Studies aimed at teaching Ukrainian language students the peculiarities of English connected with
international affairs and its usage. These goals were and remain
difficult to reach, since learning English as the language of the
21st century (in particular, peculiarities of usage, grammatical
forms and constructions) is complicated due to many extralinguistic factors, e.g., differences in political systems and
realities, different traditions in the use of written language and
paper work. Taking into consideration the above-mentioned, from
the very beginning of its development this course was focused on
both teaching students international English proper and providing
them with the minimum of country studies necessary for that. The
system of exercises has been developed to allow the lecturer to
check how students are mastering both certain parts within a
module and a module as a whole. The manual has been prepared
on the modular basis and is divided into modules. Each module
consists of the following main parts: main and supplementary
texts, lexical and lexical and syntactic exercises onto these texts,
exercises on the translation from English into Ukrainian and vice
versa, as well as practical tests directed at examining students’
progress in mastering study materials and preparing them for the
midterm and final tests. Ancillary texts offer more detailed
information on certain issues related to the main topic of each
module. Besides, every module also contains thematic glossaries
which enable students to enrich their vocabularies on the
respective topics.
“Bridge to Success: English for International Studies
Students” (Year 2) provides a solid foundation for students who
have a minimal understanding of the English Language. Students
will very quickly overcome their fear of speaking and will soon
improve their listening, reading and writing skills. To achieve the
level of linguistic and communicative competence that you need
for daily usage as well as for higher education you are encouraged
to start right now.
