We are going to read articles on different topics (culture, education, politics, history,  sports, etc.), reconstruct the overall position of particular media outlets, compare how the information is presented in different sources, pay attention to the language aspects (idioms, expressive means, syntax) and discuss topic related questions. 
Every lesson will be supplied with extra materials (reading pieces, video, photos) that a student should cover before the lesson.
