Building on existing levels of proficiency at B1+ of the Common European Framework of Reference [CEFR] the module aims to:
- Enable students to understand the main ideas within extended speech and texts and to communicate effectively in the target language (TL) in a variety of contexts;
- Provide opportunities, across a selected variety of topics and themes, for participation in advanced level communicative language activities (e.g. listening, reading, speaking, writing, interaction, and mediation);
- Consolidate and develop the range of complex elements of language structures, and specialised vocabulary to support further accuracy and control in use of the TL;
- Facilitate the analysis of aspects of the TL culture through a variety of contextualised activities and materials, in a range of media, e.g. text; audio; audio-visual; digital.
This module is at level B1+- B2 (Independent User) of the CEFR for languages.
