This course is intended specifically for students who already have a good command of the b

asic grammar of English and are familiar with a reasonably wide selection of vocabulary, but who wish to increase their competence in the language. It will enable them to do so by finding out more about the many different kinds of usage that are all covered by the one deceptively simple word "English." The course exposes students to a variety of English used for different purposes. Each example, presented in both a spoken and a printed version, is accompanied by notes which call attention to some of its most important stylistic features and comment selectively on anything of particular interest or difficulty in the vocabulary and grammar.
