C1 Course Material

Here is a list of materials that could be useful in teaching the various parts of the "English II" highest-level course program developed by the Skola2030 project. Teachers who follow the alternative program developed by the Latvian Association of Teachers of English (LATE) or other programs might still find these resources relevant, though these resources are organized by unit acording to the Skola2030 program.

On this page, the program has been divided into three parts, with the first focusing on working with works, translations, and adaptations of English literature and other authentic texts; the second focusing on the process of conducting academic research in English in order to complete the pre-requisite exam tasks; and the third focusing on preparing students for the highest level exam.

Each of the three "parts" starts with a basic overview and general commentary on the units of that section that is specifically designed for teachers with less experience to consider different possible approaches.
