Learning outcomes of the course :

| As this is a C1-level course, at the end of the year, we would expect our students to be able to :
- understand extended speech, even when it is not clearly structured and when relationships are only implied and not signalled explicitly.
- understand long and complex factual and literary texts and specialized articles.
- express themselves fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions.
- use language flexibly and effectively for professional purposes.
- formulate ideas and opinions with precision.
- present clear, detailed descriptions of complex subjects, developing particular points and rounding off with an appropriate conclusion.
- express themselves in clear, well-structured texts, expressing points of view at some length.
