This module is for students who can already communicate with some independence in the target language at level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference [CEFR]. Building on existing levels of proficiency the module aims to:

• enable you to understand and communicate effectively the main ideas and detail within an extended project in the target language
• encourage you to be independent and enable you to source and select appropriate resources relevant to your independent study project
• develop a range of complex language structures, syntax, and specialised vocabulary to allow consistent accuracy, control, cohesion and fluidity in use of the target language
• help you analyse a subject linked to your chosen field of study.

Module learning outcomes

• With reference to CEFR C1/+ level, the student can demonstrate understanding of long and complex factual and/or literary texts and/or specialised target language within their field, including differences in style
• Use the target language effectively and flexibly for academic and/or professional purposes to structure and present an argument, description, or narrative logically and clearly
• Demonstrate effective use and application of complex language structures of the target language including selection of appropriate specialised terms from a discipline-specific lexicon
• Demonstrate in the target language knowledge and analysis of a special subject linked to a chosen field of study
