Course English I is designed for lower-intermediate students (A2/B1), corresponding to the level of the standardised state school-leaving exam. Unlike general English, it offers topics and texts with an academic flavour. Apart from reviewing and consolidating the basic grammatical structures, it deals with key strategies on how to write an essay and take notes etc. The leaving level is set to B1+.
To find out their level of Eglish students can use the level test created by the British Council. https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/content
