According to the Common European Framework of Reference, the students who take the AAS course are to reach level B2, that is: can understand the main ideas of a complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in their fields of specialisation; can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes interaction on a given, previously prepared, subject with native speakers quite possible; can explain their critical viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options; can take notes of an English subject-related text which they are reading or which is being presented; can also express their own critical thoughts on the given theme; can translate, with the use of a dictionary, a fairly difficult English subject-related text into their native language.
