English Intensive Course C1

This 4-week Intensive C1 Course is for advanced learners who want to command English with accuracy, style, and confidence in any context – from high-level discussions and presentations to complex written communication. You learn to adapt your language to purpose, audience, and tone, whether engaging in academic debate, negotiating sensitive business matters, or delivering a compelling speech.

You refine advanced grammar, master subtle register shifts, and expand your vocabulary with idiomatic, figurative, and field-specific expressions. Listening practice uses authentic, fast-paced materials – such as panel discussions, expert interviews, and documentaries – so you can follow and respond to complex arguments with ease.

Writing tasks cover a range of formats: formal correspondence, persuasive essays, analytical reports, and opinion pieces with a clear, logical structure. Speaking activities push you to think critically, argue persuasively, and respond with linguistic agility in challenging scenarios.

Whether attending in Vienna, online, or in hybrid mode, you receive tailored guidance and detailed feedback. In-person participants gain exclusive access to our LcL Language Lab – a dynamic environment for perfecting pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation, while recording and analysing your own performance to fine-tune delivery and impact.
