Norwegian course C1-1

This is the first of three planned courses at C1 level. The course is designed for those who have completed courses at B2 level, or equivalent.

About the course

The participants will receive course materials consisting of texts in a variety of genres. By working with both academic and literary texts dealing with various themes, the aim is that the participants will develop their vocabulary and their sense of the nuances of the language.

We have chosen topics that will engage participants, and through discussion and other oral exercises they will get the chance to use the new vocabulary. They will develop writing through studying examples and even compose various types of texts, including formal letters, reports and persuasive texts.

Listening can be a challenge for many, and therefore we place particular emphasis on listening exercises and writing abstracts. In grammar, we concentrate on topics that are often present problems for students at higher levels, for example. word order, proper punctuation and use of various types if statements.

After completing the course participants will have increased knowledge of stylistic nuances and will be able to vary their wording to a greater degree. They will be able to use more complex sentence structures and make fewer grammatical errors, both written and oral. They will improve their ability to write texts in various genres. It will be easier to understand complex verbal speech.
