Archaeological Materials Science

Based on the project Languages for Specific Purposes- Cultural Heritage developed at the AUTH partner, the course takes learners from a low B2 to a high B2 level of language competence. There are six units in all, each unit covering a particular conservation science and cultural heritage topic. All six units are of equal difficulty and learners can pick and choose the topics and activities, as and when they wish, from anywhere in the manual. Units contain activities to develop the four communication skills – Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing – together with Language Focus Activities intended to especially reinforce, develop and expand those lexical points, which are specific to the conservation science field. A certain number of grammatical points are featured in some of the units. The recordings are on a CD which is provided with the Learner’s/Student’s Manual.

Teaching materials, including handouts, thematic websites and scientific articles will be distributed in class and posted on a dedicated Moodle page.
