Zu erreichende Kompetenzen The aim of the 4-semester course is to bring students to around the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework level C1. At this level students
• can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts and recognise implicit meaning.
• can express themselves fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions.
• can use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes.
• can produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects.
The course also aims to prepare students to be competent English users in their future employment and/or study situations.
Lerninhalte The course book provides a range of speaking, listening, writing and reading practice appropriate to the course level. The grammar and vocabulary components are complemented by the practice book and additional worksheets.

Articles (related to the students’ study areas, topical issues or popular science) are also used to provide extra reading practice (including fast reading), to develop vocabulary, and as a basis for discussion.

Students are required to complete 2 pieces of writing during the semester.

Frequent pair and group work activities give students the opportunity to improve their speaking skills. Presentation skills are practised and students are required to make a presentation on a topic related to their chosen area of study.
