Careful reading of texts is emphasised with the aim of building an active, general and business vocabulary. The use of spoken English is practised, for instance in connection with reading and listening material, and students prepare and give a speech. Writing is practised through a variety of exercises related to the subject fields being discussed, and students learn how to structure a paragraph, as well as an organised five-paragraph essay. The basic items of English grammar, particularly the ones proving difficult for Icelandic students, are reviewed. Students read a novel and short stories and work on creative projects based on the short stories.
