Intensive English B2/C1

This intensive crash-course refreshes your English by revising core grammar focussing on the tenses and applying it to reading, writing, speaking and listening. The emphasis is on general English, with some academic English common across disciplines, such as discussing data and comparing and contrasting. The exercises based on topical themes give you plenty opportunity to train vocabulary and express yourself in English to develop confidence, fluency and accuracy. Thereby the course readies you for your studies and sets you on the way to join a semester course that will enhance your level.

The total break time will be 15 minutes per session.
