This Intermediate English as a second language course will focus on developing a broader vocabulary, while gaining confidence in spoken English through role-plays, and listening activities that boost pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension in varied contexts.
Grammar instruction will be integrated into all skill areas; you will learn to manage everyday life situations, using digital tools for learning and communication, and developing cultural awareness for English-speaking environments.

Core areas

• Vocabulary Expansion: Expanding general vocabulary, including idioms and topic-specific terms for business, travel and high-frequency words for everyday life.

Refining structures, identifying/editing errors, using contractions for speech, modals, conditionals, and linking sentences with basic transitions and conjunctions.
