COURSES: C2 - MASTERY / PROFICIENCY

The Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEF or CEFR) is a guideline used to describe achievements of learners of foreign languages across Europe and, increasingly, in other countries and Its main aim is to provide a method of learning, teaching and assessing which applies to all languages in Europe.

The six reference levels (see below) have become widely accepted as the European standard for grading an individual’s language proficiency and divides learners into three broad divisions that can be divided into six levels; for each level, it describes what a learner is supposed to be able to do in reading, listening, speaking and writing.

DESCRIPTION

Use of language for Professional purposes. In this level C2 you prove your competencies to use the language for professional purposes; being able to teach, do official translations or act as an interpreter in the language.

Competencies acquired in level C1:

  • Can understand with ease virtually everything heard or read.
  • Can summarize information from different spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments and accounts in a coherent presentation.
  • Can express themselves spontaneously, very fluently and precisely, differentiating finer shades of meaning even in the most complex situations.

MODALITIES INCLUDED

Modality: Standard

The standard modality is best suited for slow-paced programs that give students more time between classes to assimilate and implement the content.

Modality: Accelerated

The accelerated modality is a faster paced program that improves on the standard by giving students either a faster coverage of the content or more practice time.

Intensive Modality: Rapid (only for refresher courses)

A fast-paced intensive course that covers an entire level of the CEFR scale, or English for specific purposes course in a single month. The rapid modality aims at the achievement of a full program at a fast pace progress.

Intensive Modality: Cruise

A Normal-paced intensive course that covers an entire level of the CEFR scale, or English for specific purposes course in a single month. The number of hours provide for a steady environment in which content is covered at a reasonable pace for students to internalise.

Intensive Modality: Thourough

Considered the most exhaustive; the Thorough modality is a semi-intensive program which gives students ample time for content analysis and practice. Ideal for first-time takers of Core CEFR levels of B2 and higher and official Cambridge exam certificate training programs.
