This course is aimed at learners who need a C1 Cambridge Advanced qualification as proof of their proficiency level in an academic or professional context. Further information about the Cambridge ESOL exams can be found on http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/

There are no special entry requirements. The course is aimed at students whose proficiency level is around B2.

You will be asked to come to the EMA before the beginning of the semester to take a “Placement Test“.

The course will allow students to :

• familiarize themselves with the format of the C1 Advanced exam
• master key skills assessed in the Speaking test, including: providing personal information, making comparisons, expressing and justifying opinions, speculating, negotiating and reaching a decision
• recognize the format of the different C1 Advanced writing tasks
• write an essay, putting forward a coherent argument on a given topic
• use a range of advanced vocabulary and grammatical structures

Each lesson will provide practice based on the different sections of the C1 Advanced test (Reading and Use of English, Listening, Speaking and Writing). Students will work individually, in pairs or take part in whole-class activities.

Students will be required to write one C1 Advanced-type essay of 220-260 words and take one end-of-semester test.
