English – Advanced Intermediate Level
OBJECTIVES
Advanced intermediate participants already know many aspects of the English language. They are familiar with some topics and are able to communicate their ideas easily; however, they still need to review some grammatical elements of the language. At this level, the training focuses more and more on the participants’ strengths and weaknesses.
At the end of the course, the participant will be able to:
- Understand the main content of concrete or abstract subjects in a complex text, including when using technical language in his field of work.
- Communicate spontaneously and easily when having a conversation with a native speaker, there should be no tension for either person.
- Express themselves in a clear and detailed manner on a wide range of topics, give their opinion about a subject in the news and discuss the benefits and inconveniences of various possibilities.
They will speak clearly and discuss about various subjects of interest. They will work on their understanding using a variety of means of communication and writing. Reading a novel or an essay is part of the program.
