Program: English language skills and competences as described in the Common European Framework
– Level C1+
SPEAKING: In social and travel contexts, users at this level are beyond the stage of having any
problems in dealing with many of the routine situations of everyday life, such as those which
arise in shops, restaurants, banks and hotels. In the workplace, they can argue a point
persuasively, and ask questions which go outside their own immediate area of responsibility or
expertise. They can contribute effectively to meetings and seminars within their own area of
work, and give a presentation or demonstration. Users at this level can use the telephone for
most business purposes.
WRITING: In social and travel contexts, users at this level can write personal letters, only
encountering difficulties where very complex issues arise, and they can produce some of the
more formal types of letters, such as emails, responding to a complaint, enquiry, application
and CV. In the workplace, they can deal with routine requests for goods and services, but may
need help to deal with a situation which demands tact or delicacy.

READING: In social and travel contexts, users at this level can understand specialised
magazine and newspaper articles, although complex plots, arguments and humour may present
difficulties. In the workplace, they can understand instructions, articles and reports, market
research, statistics, etc. as long as, in most of these cases, the topic area is within the learner's
own field, and no particularly complex concepts and arguments or unusual vocabulary are
involved.
LISTENING: In social and travel contexts, Level C1+ users can cope with everyday life up to
the level of being able to understand details of accommodation arrangements such as tenancy
agreements. In the workplace they can understand most of what takes place in meetings and
seminars within their own area of work. They can follow arguments unless they are very
complex or abstract.
