Language foundation

English: B1 to B2

B1 to B2 is the transition most language exams treat as a genuine watershed — the point where a learner moves from getting by in familiar situations to operating independently across unfamiliar ones, including abstract topics and formal register. This ten-week course is built around that shift. The listening and speaking module works with less predictable, more natural-paced input and pushes learners to justify opinions rather than just state them. The reading and writing module introduces argumentative and semi-formal writing, since B2 is where structure and coherence start to matter as much as vocabulary. A dedicated grammar module covers conditionals, reported speech and the connecting language that lets an argument hold together over several sentences. Every module is deliberately independent of any single exam's format, since B1–B2 is a genuine competence transition useful on its own — candidates preparing for a specific exam like IELTS or the Goethe-Zertifikat should pair this course with that exam's dedicated preparation course.
