Short description:	A general C2 English course for University of Warsaw students from different faculties. There will be an emphasis on building fluency and confidence in spoken communication throughout, with some listening and reading activities to build vocabulary, as well as writing tasks to assess range and accuracy of grammar and vocabulary in practice. The topics below will be used as a lens to consider students’ own preferences and practices, but also to consider wider societal issues and cross-cultural comparisons. The goal is to take “everyday” topics that students may have practiced before at a more simple level, and expand their range of vocabulary and develop opinions to express complex descriptions, arguments and critiques. Topics: Media (TV, movies, books, video games) Music Sports Beauty and style Art Food Language Teaching methods: Communicative discussions (pairs, groups) on a range of topics Presentations and panel discussions Writing critical reviews Advanced listening and reading from IELTS practice tests, or authentic articles and videos. Regular individual feedback on writing and speaking. Students are not required to buy a textbook. Assessment will adhere to the university's scoring system and final scores will be decided through performance throughout the semester (active participation in classes and timely completion of all required tasks or assignments) and assessments addressing skills, topics and functions practiced during the semester (using an adapted IELTS rubric).
