FOREWORD

I have always considered C2 to be the highest level of competence in English as a Foreign Language, just like Black Belt is the pinnacle of achievement in Martial Arts. Of course, I refer to C2 as defined by CEFR and not by the numerous certifications commercially available, some of which unjustifiably claim to represent this level of competence.

With this in mind, I have defined the function of this site as a resource package, a selection of material which promotes skills required for C2 rather than exam preparation material oriented to a specific test.

That is not to say that those who will use it will not benefit in terms of exam readiness. On the contrary, the skills developed through the material will stand them in good stead as they prepare. It is merely a shift of focus from exam obsession to fruitful, effective, enjoyable learning.
