The aim of the subject is to develop students' language skills from B2/B2+ level to C1 level (CEFR). This is the second semester of a six-semester course which is focused on effective language skills development towards the advanced level, i.e. C1+ (first three semesters), and then the proficiency level (the following three semesters). The course is based on systematic work with the core course-book, however, there are also obligatory sources required by the teacher. The course works with students on the development of practical skills regarding speaking, reading, listening and writing.
