Objectives

By the end of the semester, students should reach an intermediate level between B2 and C1 (CEFR defined levels).

Learning outcomes and competences

Students should have become more autonomous and should have developed their linguistic, socio-linguistic and pragmatic skills in order to be able to:


- understand most radio and TV programmes, including those using a non standard language and follow extended speeches even when they are not clearly structured and when the semantic links between the ideas are only implied and not signalled explicitly;

- follow extended exchanges taking place between external partners in a discussion or a debate, even those on abstract, complex and unfamiliar topics;

- understand increasingly long and complex texts by raising relevant points and by identifying the explicit or implicit position expressed by the author;

- analyse and understand a statistical or a pictural document;

- express their ideas and opinions in a logic, accurate and spontaneous way;

- make an oral presentation on a specific and current topic, using relevant arguments and examples and identifying different positions in the documents; 

- identify, reformulate and organise ideas in order to write a synthesis based on an overview of different types of documents;

- express a point of view in a clear, accurate, concise and appropriate (to the recipient) writing style.
