Learning outcomes

An additional aim of this course is to help students realize the strong and weak points of their language competence and motivate them to develop their competence gradually to reach the C1.1 language proficiency level. The first three units of Straightforward Advanced, which will be used in the three years of the bachelor study programme, will be covered. Apart from following the coursebook, extra materials and extra activities will be introduced by the teacher according to the needs of the particular class.
