The aims are: to expand curriculum contents by using authentic materials, to provide students with a possibility to take part in direct face-to-face communication with American native speakers, and to make language learning more interesting by leaving a formal learning environment.

The benefits of such programmes are specified according to the educational outcomes of the curriculum for English as a foreign language considering the linguistic, communicative and intercultural aspect of competences.
