Intermediate

The Intermediate level is often a milestone for students. At this point, students begin to ‘take off’ in terms of their ability to communicate. Some students, however, may see the Intermediate level as a ‘plateau’ and feel that they are no longer making the progress they were before. Students at this level need fresh challenges to help them realize how much they know and to make their passive knowledge active with a steady input of new language.

During this level, you will:

Improve your speaking through motivating and accessible topics, such as

•  Preferences, agreeing and disagreeing

•  Future events

• Retelling a story

• Money and experiences

• Annoying habits and manners

•  Anecdotes, childhood, sports, films

• Assessing advice

• Making deductions

•  Present and past habits; shopping, digital habits, school

•  Discussing pros and cons, describing ideal situations

Improve your understanding through

• exposure to a wide variety of authentic text types and stimulating material

• practice in ‘getting the gist’ and listening for detail

• practice in dealing with authentic spoken language
