Overview
This course is designed to optimize your writing and speaking competences, to enlarge your vocabulary, to increase your usage of complex grammatical structures and to make you consistently and successfully employ self-correcting strategies.

You will be able to coherently talk about a broad range of subjects and to argue for your point of view.
