The aim of the course is to develop the key language skills of students at the C1-C2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It is the first of a three-term course. The learner works systematically with a course-book and expands his/her practical skills in the fields of spoken performance, reading comprehension, listening and writing, all focused on accuracy and language complexity. The grammatical items concerned are perfect aspect, the future, conditionals, past tense, participle clauses. The topics include changes, behaviour, rituals, the consumer society, music. The classroom material is to be analysed thoroughly; students are encouraged to form their attitudes and summarize the ideas. The vocabulary is enhanced systematically, including collocations, idioms and abstract terms. Grammar is presented to students as a system, including some of its less frequent features which occur in the texts. To support their knowledge, the students can be asked to study from other materials recommended by the lecturer.
