This course aims at the intensive completion of the B1 & B2 levels of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). The course includes reading, writing, listening and speaking components, drawing on new trends in educational technology and language teaching.
At this level, students are typically expected to be able to:
• understand the main ideas as well as specific details of complex written and spoken texts on both concrete and abstract topics related to everyday life or the professional environment,
• interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native and non-native speakers quite possible without strain for either party,
• engage in conversation on topics that are familiar, of personal interest or pertinent to everyday life (e.g., family, hobbies, work, current events)
• describe experiences, events, and ambitions, and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans
• write personal and formal texts such as emails, reports, essays, or reviews, expressing their ideas clearly and coherently, and presenting the advantages and disadvantages of various options.
