Language foundation
English: B2 to C1
B2 to C1 is less about learning new grammar and more about precision — using the language you already have with the nuance, register control, and implicit understanding that C1 demands. This ten-week course is built for learners who can already hold a full conversation and write a structured argument, and who now need to sound genuinely fluent rather than merely correct. The listening and speaking module works with natural, unmodified speech and pushes learners to catch implied meaning and tone, not just literal content. The reading and writing module moves into academic and professional register: reports, structured essays, and texts that require inference rather than surface comprehension. The grammar module is deliberately light on new structures and heavy on precision — collocation, register-appropriate vocabulary, and the small choices that separate confident C1 English from merely competent B2 English. The course closes with a cumulative review against real C1 descriptors.
