The Intermediate Grammar course is an advanced course from the Basic Grammar course, so students who take this course are required to pass with a minimum grade of C. This course will study several subskills and strategies in identifying and practicing analytical skills and the meaning of a sentence in scientific texts. Some of the topics have similarities with the topics in the previous semester but with a deepening and expansion at an advanced level. To achieve this goal, the material discussed in this course focuses on: (1) the correspondence between verbs and complex subjects, (2) sentences with multiple clauses, (3) shortening clauses into phrases, (4) subject-verb inversion, (5) passive sentences, (6) tenses in context, and several other topics. The lectures combine expository methods, practice questions, sentence analysis and individual assignments. Assessment to determine the achievement of competence is carried out by tests and non-tests, namely oral questions and answers, assignments, quizzes, mid-term exam, and final exam.

The Basic Reading and Vocabulary course is designed to help freshmen ELT students develop essential reading skills and expand their vocabulary in English.

This course is designed to give you an understanding of English phonetics and phonology. In phonetics, you'll learn about the characteristics of segmental phonemes (such as consonants and vowels) as well as suprasegmental phonemes (like accent, stress, and syllables). It also covers both broad and narrow phonetic transcriptions. In phonology, you'll explore the principles that govern sound patterns in English, including concepts like phonemes, phones, allophones, minimal pairs, phonotactics, and syllables. The focus is on how phonological rules transform underlying (phonemic) representations into surface (phonetic) forms. With this foundational knowledge, you'll be able to conduct basic research and analyze simple phonological patterns in English.
