We read challenging articles from the Economist, The New Yorker and from other original English sources you, the participants have found. We look for articles which provoke discussion. We talk about them and the grammar and often opinions differ about what we have read. That breathes truth into the saying "Variety is the spice of life". You will meet new words and expressions in the articles that you don’t know. Don’t be worried about that. That is the whole point of a challenging course. If you are at C1 level or have ambitions to speak at this level, here is an opportunity to add to your English knowledge at an advanced level.

In this course, with the help and structure of a course book, we will explore the key grammar areas and idiomatic vocabulary which is needed to progress from level B2 to level C1. The class is paced to allow for plenty of practice and discussion of the topics. We will focus on speaking and listening in class with written work given for homework.

This course is designed for practising and improving your spoken English. We will focus on a wide range of interesting topics and activities to make you feel more confident with spontaneous conversations and your listening comprehension, while also helping to increase your vocabulary and accuracy in pronunciation.

This course gives you the chance to develop your spoken fluency, review key grammar areas and extend your active vocabulary with the help of a coursebook.
