General English C2

About this course

Refine your English to a level of mastery. Aligned with CEFR level C2, this course works on the finest details of meaning, style and fluency across all four skills, over around 42 to 48 hours of classroom practice.

You will analyse authentic texts and broadcasts, distinguish subtle shades of meaning, summarise and mediate between sources and write complex texts with real stylistic control. Idiom, connotation and advanced grammar are practised in context, and you finish with an Alalamia certificate.

What you'll learn

• Understand with ease virtually everything heard or read, including abstract and specialised content
• Summarise information from different spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments coherently
• Express yourself spontaneously, very fluently and precisely, distinguishing finer shades of meaning
• Write complex, well-structured texts in an appropriate and effective style
• Use a broad range of idiomatic and colloquial expressions with awareness of connotation
• Edit and refine your own writing for precision, cohesion and impact
• Mediate between speakers and texts, explaining complex ideas to different audiences
