Programme objectives correspond to those established for the C1 level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Foreign Languages document. Attainment targets comprise the following linguistic competences. On completion of the course, a C1 level student should possess the following competences: C1 - Can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognize implicit meaning. Can express him/herself fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions. Can use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes. Can produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organizational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices. In line with the curricula of the Faculty courses, teaching at C1 level is based on the analysis (comprehension, interpretation and discussion) of an extensive variety of texts (both spoken and written) used by scholars, professionals and experts in the wide-ranging explorations pertinent to the social sciences as a whole. English use is thus placed in an international context, English being the instrument for the diffusion of knowledge world-wide: in this light, it becomes the platform for the discussion of interdisciplinary and intercultural themes.
