Lecture Goals

Develop skills and competences to reach an advanced C1 level (cf. CEFR descriptors), be able to take an English certificate exam at C1 level

  • listening:
o understand extended speech even when it is not clearly structured and when relationships are only implied and not signalled explicitly
  • reading:
o understand long and complex factual and literary texts, appreciating distinctions of style
o understand specialised articles and longer technical instructions
  • speaking:
o express oneself fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions
o use language flexibly and effectively for social and professional purposes
o formulate ideas and opinions with precision and relate contribution skillfully to those of other speakers
o present clear, detailed descriptions of complex subjects integrating sub-themes, developing particular points and rounding off with an appropriate conclusion
  • writing:
o express oneself in clear, well-structured text, expressing points of view at some length
o write about complex subjects in a letter, an essay or a report, underlining what are considered the salient issues
o select style appropriate to the reader in mind
