Wondering how to engage yourself this autumn? Here are some tips

from our Language instructors that can lead you to the right path

Mariya Podushko (IELTS Language Instructor) encourages you to

engage with coursera.org: ‘Forensic Science – an awesome

course with Roderick Bates from Sin-

gapore University. I am completely

immersed in it. Lectures are captivat-

ing and eye-opening. Tasks will make

you think and act like a professional

detective. It will definitely widen your

scope of expertise and make you ask

for more. Course is nicely organized

and well-planned. So if you ever won-

dered of how specialists on CSI and

other detective TV shows operate, that’s the one for you.

Ganna Isayeva (Director of Studies) says that if you want to boost

your business vocabulary, go to BBC Business Daily Podcasts:

‘BBC Business Daily Podcasts will equip you

with the right kind of vocabulary that will allow

you to operate in any English speaking business

environment. Besides, it is simply interesting to

listen to as the topics under discussion are poign-

ant and thought-provoking. Just give it a shot!’

Ilyana Al-Masoud recommends watching Orero.tv

at your free time:

‘If you are keen on watching English series with subtitles do

make use of this resource. It has a multitude of series which

cater for any taste and any language level. So, forget about

watching films in Ukrainian or Russian, English is a new way

of getting to know the world!’
