PRAKTYCZNA NAUKA JĘZYKA ANGIELSKIEGO
GRAMATYKA JĘZYKA ANGIELSKIEGO , ROK 1BA, 2BA
Krótkie streszczenie kursów w języku polskim
Rok akademicki 2008/2009
Semestr 1 i 2
Typ kursu: ćwiczenia
Ilość zajęć w tygodniu dla 1BA i 2BA: 2 godziny czyli 1 zajęcia po 90 minut
Ilość godzin w semestrze dla 1BA i 2BA: 30
Wymagania egzaminacyjne: dla 1BA: egzamin pisemny w formie testu
gramatycznego w sesji letniej, obejmujący
wszystkie zagadnienia gramatyczne omawiane
przez 2 semestry kursu 1BA
dla 2BA: egzamin pisemny w formie testu
gramatycznego w sesji letniej obejmujący
wszystkie zagadnienia gramatyczne wchodzące w
skład kursu na 1BA i 2BA.
Krótki opis kursu dla lat 1BA i 2BA
Głównym celem kursu gramatyki praktycznej języka angielskiego na 1BA i 2BA jest
pogłębianie i utrwalanie wiedzy studentów z zakresu znajomości gramatyki angielskiej na
poziomie zaawansowanym, która pozwoli studentom na swobodne, skuteczne i poprawne
operowanie językiem angielskim w mowie i piśmie. Chodzi więc nie tylko o poprawę
skuteczności przepływu informacji wyrażanej w języku obcym, ale również o to aby przekaz
informacji był wyrazem akademickiego wykształcenia językowego studentów.
Dodatkowymi celami kursu jest systematyczna praca nad poszerzaniem zakresu
słownictwa i frazeologii na poziomie zaawansowanym obejmującym czynny i bierny zasób
słownictwa angielskiego, tak aby wiedza ta mogła znaleźć zastosowanie we wszystkich
czynnościach komunikacji językowej podejmowanych przez studentów.
1
Kurs gramatyki ma za zadanie uruchomić u studentów mechanizmy świadomości
językowej, które pozwolą im swobodnie odróżniać daną formę językową od jej użycia w
określonej sytuacji komunikacyjnej. Tak więc, zgodnie z najnowszymi doniesieniami z
dziedziny badań w zakresie metodyki nauczania języka angielskiego obecny kurs będzie
również podejmował omawianie różnic między użyciem gramatyki w języku mówionym i w
języku pisanym.
Program kursu zakłada poziom znajomość języka angielskiego przez studentów na
1BA który określić można jako FCE/CAE ( średnio-zaawansowany) , dla 2BA poziom CAE
(zaawansowany).
Szczegółowy program kursu gramatyki dla 1BA i 2BA obejmuje następujące
zagadnienia gramatyczne:
1. Struktura zdania angielskiego
2. Rzeczowniki
3. Przedimki
4. Zaimki
5. Przymiotniki
6. Przysłówki
7. Czasy w języku angielskim
8. Czasowniki be, have, do
9. Przyimki, partykuły, czasowniki frazowe
10. Czasowniki modalne
11. Strona bierna
12. Okresy warunkowe
13. Mowa zależna
14. Zdania względne
15. Konstrukcje imiesłowowe i bezokolicznikowe
16. Struktura zdania złożonego oraz typy zdań złożonych
17. Tryby w języku angielskim
18. Idiomy
19. Kolokacje
20. Reguły pisowni/ortografii w języku angielskim
2
Ogólne wytyczne kursu praktycznej gramatyki języka angielskiego dla lat 1BA i 2BA są
następujące:
1. Kurs gramatyki należy rozpocząć od przeprowadzenia testu diagnostycznego z
zakresu gramatyki szkoły średniej. Test wykaże rzeczywistą znajomość zagadnień
gramatycznych w danej grupie studentów oraz pozwoli prowadzącemu zorientować
się na które zagadnienia będzie musiał/musiała poświęcić więcej czasu na zajęciach.
Test diagnostyczny jest niezbędny, bowiem jego wyniki dostarczą prowadzącym
informacji potrzebnych do ustalenia indywidualnego dla każdej grupy szczegółowego
programu nauczania w danym semestrze i wyznaczy tempo pracy nad poszczególnymi
zagadnieniami.
2. Rozkład materiału na 1BA i 2BA zakłada stopniowe narastanie trudności zagadnień
gramatycznych oraz organizuje materiał gramatyczny, który powinien zostać
opanowany przez studentów w toku kursu gramatyki praktycznej na 1BA i 2BA, tak
aby po ukończeniu kursu poprawnie używali oni języka angielskiego na poziomie
zaawansowanym każdym kontekście komunikacyjnym, w mowie i piśmie.
3. Prowadzący zajęcia w danej grupie dokonają wyboru wiodącego podręcznika do nauki
gramatyki języka angielskiego na poziomie zaawansowanym, lista rekomendowanych
materiałów i podręczników znajduje się na końcu tego dokumentu.
4. Każde zagadnienie gramatyczne omawiane podczas zajęć powinno być uprzednio
przygotowane przez studentów w domu, tak aby w toku zajęć wyjaśnione zostały te
elementy danego zagadnienia, które stanowić mogą szczególną trudność dla
studentów oraz te, które nauczyciel uzna za szczególnie istotne dla zrozumienia
gramatyki angielskiej na poziomie zaawansowanym. Jest istotne aby każde omawiane
teoretycznie zagadnienie gramatyczne było ilustrowane przykładami podawanymi
przez nauczyciela oraz przykładami własnymi studentów, które świadczyć będą o
zrozumieniu tego zagadnienia przez nich. Istotne jest aby po omówieniu teoretycznym
danego zagadnienia wiedza została ugruntowana odpowiednio dobranym zestawem
ćwiczeń zawierającym również typy zadań, które pojawią się w teście semestralnym
oraz końcowym.
5. Ważne jest również aby w zestawach ćwiczeń gramatycznych znajdowały się
ćwiczenia słowotwórcze oraz ćwiczenia na idiomy angielskie, kolokacje, czasowniki
frazowe oraz inne elementy leksykalne. Systematyczna praca w tym zakresie pozwoli
prowadzącemu na zintegrowanie tego obszaru gramatyki angielskiej w program i
umożliwi konsekwentną konsolidację wiedzy u studentów.
3
6. W trakcie kursu studenci powinni otrzymywać regularne informacje zwrotne na temat
swoich postępów bądź ich braku, oraz otrzymać od prowadzących informacje o
dodatkowych terminach testów poprawkowych i innych sposobach nadrobienia
braków.
Po zakończeniu każdego roku nauki odbędzie się egzamin ze znajomości języka, który składa
się z części pisemnej czyli pisania eseju i testu gramatycznego, oraz z części ustnej podczas
której komisja oceni wypowiedź ustną studenta na jeden z tematów opracowanych na
zajęciach kursu zintegrowanego nauczania języka angielskiego. W części ustnej egzaminu
oceniania jest między innymi poprawność wypowiedzi studenta czyli poprawne użycie
gramatyki języka angielskiego.
Test gramatyczny składać się będzie z zestawu zadań przygotowanych na podstawie zakresu
materiału gramatycznego dla 1BA, dla 2BA zakres materiału obejmować będzie wszystkie
zagadnienia gramatyczne przewidziane do omówienia w czasie kursu gramatyki praktycznej
dla 1BA i 2BA.

PRACTICAL ENGLISH COURSE – GRAMMAR
YEAR 1BA, 2BA
ACADEMIC YEAR 2008/2009
Contents and objectives of the course
There is no doubt that a good knowledge of English grammar at the advanced level is
necessary for students of English as a Foreign Language. The main objective of a practical
grammar course is to revise and expand students’ knowledge of the English grammar system
so that they become communicatively effective and increase their mastery of the English
language in all communicative contexts.
The secondary objective of the course is to raise students’ awareness of the differences
between spoken and written grammar and put this knowledge into practice during classes to
be later used successfully during everyday communication. Another important objective is for
students to be able to discuss functions and notions of different aspects of English grammar
using appropriate linguistic terminology.
To this aim the program for the grammar course has been designed to allow the
teachers to thoroughly cover all major aspects of English grammar during 1BA and 2BA.
The course of practical grammar assumes a gradual progression of complexity of the
material to be covered during classes both in 1BA and in 2BA. The grammatical areas to be
discussed have been organized in a sequence which allows for a thorough revision of the
grammatical material followed by the organization of knowledge and practice leading to the
mastery of the language at the advanced level of language proficiency.
The 2BA course assumes the continuation of grammar presentation with a gradual
increase of complexity of grammatical issues.
Students will be expected to become familiar with the linguistic terminology
(metalanguage) related to grammar, which will enable them to discuss grammatical issues at
advanced level in class.
The suggested list of grammatical areas to be discussed during the course of 1BA and
2BA are as follows:
1. The sentence
7
2. Nouns
3. The Article
4. Pronouns
5. Adjectives
6. Adverbs
7. Verbs and Verb tenses
8. Be, have, do
9. Prepositions, Adverb Particles and Phrasal Verbs
10. Modal verbs
11. The Passive Voice
12. Conditional Sentences
13. Direct and Indirect Speech
14. Relative Clauses
15. The Infinitive, Gerund and Participle Constructions
16. The Complex Sentence: clauses of purpose, reason, result, concession, comparison
and time
A detailed list of grammatical areas to be covered in year 1BA and year 2BA with provisional
calculations as to the number of class hours to be devoted to their realization during 4
semesters of the grammar course is to be found at the end of this document.
The detailed list of grammar topics for 1BA and 2BA may be effectively realized with the use
of the following recommended coursebooks:
1. Alexander, L.G. 1998. Longman English Grammar. Harlow: Longman.
2. Dooley, J., Evans, V. 1999. Grammarway 4. Newbury: Express Publishing.
3. Hewings, M. 2006. Advanced Grammar in Use. Second Edition. Edition with answers
and CD ROM. Cambridge: CUP.
4. Yule, G. 2006. Oxford Practice Grammar with Practice-Plus CD-ROM. Advanced.
Oxford: OUP.
Teaching suggestions
1. Teachers will individually decide on the leading coursebook for their group but it is
strongly recommended that the choice of a coursebook follows the results of the
diagnostic test at the beginning of 1BA. A comprehensive list of recommended
grammar resources is to be found at the end of this document.
8
2. Students should be informed at the beginning of the academic year about the course
and credit requirements and of the individual requirements of their grammar teachers.
They should also be informed about the quiz and test administration procedures and
the formats of the final grammar test, which is part of their Practical English Exam at
the end of each academic year.
3. It is recommended that students are assigned regular, at-home preparation of the
grammatical area to be covered during a class unit, which will ensure effective student
participation in class discussion and in the subsequent immediate practice in the form
of grammar exercises and communicative tasks.
4. It is important that teachers prepare a selection of contextualized grammar tasks to
follow a theoretical discussion of a given grammatical area and to include systematic
work on vocabulary expansion at the advanced level.
5. Teachers should also pay considerable attention to those grammatical areas which may
prove particularly difficult to students, due to interference from Polish (among others
The Present Perfect Tense, aspects of modality, Conditional Clauses, Passive Voice).
6. All grammatical problems to be discussed during classes should always be illustrated
by examples and followed by immediate practice beginning with more controlled tasks
and gradually moving to less controlled practice and to communicative contexts, to
ensure the consolidation of knowledge and integration into effective language
performance.
7. It is recommended that teachers administer a diagnostic test at the beginning of 1BA
course and 2BA course. This will allow teachers to assess the level of grammar
proficiency of their group and the students’ needs in terms of grammar, and
subsequently plan the organization of the grammatical material that needs to be
revised and presented during the 1BA and 2BA courses.
8. To this aim the program of the grammar course for 1BA and 2BA has been
intentionally designed in a way that anticipates the feasibility of its realization within a
given academic year.
9. Students’ progress should be systematically monitored throughout the course; teachers
should administer regular quizzes which will test students’ preparation for classes and
revise/consolidate the parts of the material already covered during classes. There
should also be two major grammar tests (a mid-semester and an end-semester test).
This will provide students with regular feedback on their progress.
10. During 2BA grammar course students should continue working on the grammatical
issues to be covered in 1BA, but ample time should also be allowed for systematic
9
revision/ consolidation of areas discussed during 1BA. If such need arises students
should be given opportunities for remedial work on those areas which have not been
satisfactorily mastered by them.
11. It is recommended that at the beginning of 2BA course teachers carry out a brief
revision of the grammatical material covered during 1BA grammar course to assess
the degree of material consolidation and proceed with covering the grammatical
material planned for 2BA course.
12. It is very important to include systematic vocabulary tasks into all grammar classes,
both in 1BA and in 2BA to ensure the gradual increase and consolidation of students’
scope of vocabulary, so that they become communicatively effective at the advanced
level of language proficiency.
Credit requirements
In order to receive a credit for the grammar course students should meet all course
requirements such as:
regular class attendance ( the attendance policy of the School determines the
number of unexcused absences allowed per semester, it will also determine the
number of medically certified absences allowed per semester);
preparation for the classes and active participation in classes understood as full
involvement in all class activities;
getting passing marks on all grammar quizzes and tests, vocabulary quizzes, oral
tests, and all homework assignments and in-class assignments;
Teachers will individually decide on other credit criteria and will develop their own grading
system which they will present to students at the beginning of the academic year.
Final exam requirements:
On completion of each academic year students will take the Practical English Exam consisting
of two parts: written and oral. The written part of the exam consists of essay writing and a
grammar test. Students will be informed about the format of the final test at the beginning of
each academic year and they will have practiced during grammar classes all types of tasks
used in the test during the grammar classes.
10
The grammar test in 1BA will consist of the tasks testing the grammatical material covered
during both semesters of the grammar course whereas the grammar test after 2BA will cover
all grammatical issues discussed in the two years of the grammar course.
In the oral exam students’ performance will also be evaluated in terms of grammatical
accuracy and the effectiveness of the use of grammar in appropriate communicative contexts.
The final score for the Practical English exam will be the sum of scores obtained for each of
the exam components.
