Course objectives
The aim of the course is to achieve a B2 level (based on CEFR).
Students should understand the main ideas of relatively complex text on both concrete and academic/professional topics, including discussions in their field of specialisation; can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party; can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of academic/professional subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.
Listening: can understand extended speech and lectures and follow even complex lines of argument provided the topic is reasonably familiar; can understand most media news and current affairs programmes.
Reading: can read academic/professional texts without great difficulty; can read articles and reports concerned with contemporary problems in which the writers adopt a particular stance or viewpoint.
Spoken interaction: can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible; can take an active part in discussion in familiar contexts, accounting for and sustaining their views. Written interaction: can write formal and informal letters, emails, applications and cover letters.
Spoken production: can present clear, detailed descriptions on a wide range of academic/professional subjects related to their field of study and interest; can explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.
Written production: can write clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects related to their field of study and interest; can write a short academic text, summary, and resume passing on information or giving reasons in support of or against a particular point of view.
Grammar accuracy: shows a relatively high degree of grammatical control; does not make errors which cause misunderstanding, and can correct most of their mistakes; can also use some complex sentence forms.
Grammar and language fluency: can produce stretches of language with a fairly even tempo; although they can be hesitant as they search for patterns and expressions, there are few noticeably long pauses.
Coherence: can use a limited number of cohesive devices to link their utterances into clear, coherent discourse, though there may be some short pauses in a long contribution.
