English (C) aims to help students to improve basic communication skills such as listening, conversation and written composition. Along with these skills, students will also develop their thinking about topics through discussion.

By the end of course, students will improve communication skills and vocabulary, enabling efficient communication and providing them with the ability to deal with a wide range of topics. Specifically, they should be able to:
Listening: understand everyday conversation without undue effort.

Speaking: describe clearly a wide range of subjects referring in the main to personal experiences; express agreement or disagreement in an everyday discussion.

Writing: write sentences of a reasonable length about their environment.
