Course description
B2+ Towards the C1 Advanced is a high B2-level course. You will learn independent and advanced English grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. This course also prepares you for the C1 Advanced (CAE) exam by focussing on writing tasks in the exam. There will be speaking, listening, reading, and writing exercises every week.
Content
As the name of the course implies, topics will focus on the world of higher education and academia, from both student and staff perspectives. Although we will be focussing on various English-speaking countries, during speaking exercises you will be able to discuss the topics in relation to your own experiences in France.
- Topic 1: Higher education and internships
- Topic 2: Power dynamics and bullying in academia
- Topic 3: Accessibility and disability
- Topic 4: Tuition fees
You must have a high B2 level/ low C1 level of English. This course is ideal if you are already an independent user of English, and you are ready to move on to more nuanced and complex language.
