At C1, money becomes a lens for examining power, value, and the structures that organise human life. These 50 questions challenge advanced adult speakers to examine whether economic growth is compatible with sustainability, how financialisation changes what we value, whether inherited wealth is compatible with meritocracy, and what happens to society when money becomes the primary measure of success.
The vocabulary is drawn from economics, philosophy, and political theory: words like 'commodification', 'financialisation', 'meritocracy', 'precarity', 'capital', and 'austerity' combine with sophisticated discourse features like 'the assumption underlying this is...', 'this narrative obscures the reality that...', and 'it is debatable whether...' which characterise the rigorous, qualified analysis C1 demands.
Money as Intellectual Territory
The best C1 money questions resist easy moralising. When students examine whether a universal basic income would change how people find meaning in work, they must navigate competing values, weigh uncertain evidence, and resist the temptation of simple conclusions. This intellectual complexity is what drives language development at C1 level.
Facilitating C1 Economic Discussion
Allow extended discussion time. Two or three well-explored economic questions can produce richer language than ten superficially discussed ones. YapYapGo's flexible timer supports the depth that C1 discussions require.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The questions draw on general knowledge and personal observation. Everyone participates in economic systems; the questions ask students to analyse that participation rather than cite economic theory.
Economics, business, and policy discussions are central to academic and professional life. The analytical vocabulary and argumentation skills practised here transfer directly to seminars, boardrooms, and written analysis.
The questions are designed to invite analysis rather than advocacy. Encourage students to explore multiple perspectives on each economic question rather than defending fixed positions.
