The aim of the subject is to develop students' language skills from B2 level to C1 level (CEFR). This is the first semester of a six-semester course which is focused on effective language skills development towards the advanced level (first three semesters), and then the proficiency level (the following three semesters). The course is based on systematic work with the basic textbook, 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.
