What's Advanced C1?

• Has a good command of a broad range of language allowing him/her to select a formulation to express him/herself clearly in an appropriate style on a wide range of topics without having to restrict what he/she wants to say.
• Can express him/herself fluently and spontaneously, almost effortlessly. Only a conceptually difficult subject can hinder a natural, smooth flow of language.
• Mantains a high degree of grammatical accuracy; errors are rare, difficult to spot and generally corrected when they occur.
• Can produce clear, smooth-flowing, well-structured speech, showing controlled use of organisational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices.

Moodle

Virtual classroom

• Be proactive: seek out opportunities to practise English outside class.

• Watch TV, films and videos in English. Activate subtitles in English if necessary.

• Set default language to English on your computer, phone, etc.

• Listen to the radio, podcasts, music, anything that is of your interest that will keep you motivated.

• Do as much reading as you can. It does not have to be full books: articles, posts, short stories, news items, brochures, leaflets... Seeing language in context will help you fix structures and collocations.

• Do not hesitate to ask your teacher for advice on where to find what you are looking for.
