Text Comprehension & Production: Independent User (B1+) is designed for sixth-semester students in the Licenciatura en Español e Inglés program, aiming to refine their reading and writing skills at a B1+ level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

• Understand and analyze a variety of text types, including academic articles, opinion pieces, and reports.
• Identify implicit and explicit meanings, main ideas, and supporting details in longer and more complex texts.
• Write well-structured academic texts, including argumentative essays, critical analyses, and research-based compositions.
• Use a wider range of vocabulary and grammatical structures with accuracy and coherence.
• Apply revision and editing strategies to improve the clarity, cohesion, and effectiveness of their writing.
