Special attention will be devoted to discourse and interaction strategies in speech, and to cohesion and coherence in writing.

| Aims |
To acquire advanced skills in speaking and writing (B2 level - Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ).
Speaking skills
At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- give clear, detailed descriptions and presentations on a wide range of subjects related to his/her field of interest, expanding and supporting ideas with subsidiary points and relevant examples
- use the language fluently, accurately and effectively on a wide range of general, vocational or leisure topics, clearly marking the relationships between ideas
- communicate spontaneously with good grammatical control without much sign of having to restrict what he/she wants to say, adopting a level of formality appropriate to the circumstances
- deviate spontaneously from a prepared speech in order to follow up on interesting issues mentioned by listeners
Writing skills
At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
- write clear, detailed texts on a variety of subjects related to his/her field of interest, synthesizing and evaluating information and arguments from a number of sources
- write clear, detailed descriptions of real or imaginary events and experiences, marking the relationship between ideas in clear connected text, and following established conventions of the genre concerned
- relate information, express opinions and adapt to other people's opinions through writing
The student will :
- use a good range of vocabulary for matters connected to his/her field and to more general topics
- vary formulation to avoid frequent repetition
- have a relatively high degree of grammatical control
- communicate with reasonable accuracy in familiar contexts
- have a clear, natural, pronunciation and intonation
- produce clearly intelligible continuous writing which follows standard layout and paragraphing conventions
- use accurate spelling and punctuation.

Exercise sessions in smaller groups: focus on correct oral production (vocabulary, grammar, fluency, pronunciation, etc.).
