Please note: This course was formerly called "Englisch C1.1: EAP Advanced Reading and Writing". It is only the course title that has changed; not the contents or learning outcomes.

This course is intended for students who need English for their university studies. The focus is on reading and writing.

Using English at B2+ level, by the end of the course you will be able to:

• master reading skills for advanced academic texts by recognizing key collocations
• synthesize and paraphrase reading material into short answers and summary
• write about issues that relate to academic disciplines using a variety of structures and advanced vocabulary
• analyze, revise, and edit student-produced writing
• blend verb tenses effectively, apply hedging devices and linking words to your texts
