The General English Intermediate Course is aimed at students who have a good basic knowledge of English. Reading, writing, and listening exercises are varied and help to consolidate the introduction of more sophisticated grammatical structures and vocabulary. At this level, students are also challenged to improve their spoken fluency through discussions, debates, and presentations.
Some of the topics covered in the lessons include:
This course is divided into Blocks A, B, and C. All three blocks together cover the whole Intermediate (B1) level. It is not necessary, however, to complete the blocks in A-B-C order as all blocks are taught at an Intermediate level.
New for 2018. We are now offering all 3 blocks bundled together in an intensive format. This means you have the option to complete the entire B1 level in just 5 weeks.
Please note that the total number of hours is slightly higher for the intensive course. Due to the frequency of the lessons, learners will have less time for self-study so these hours have been included in the programme.
