English Course

Contents overview:

Level 1 (Beginner)

At this level, learners start by getting comfortable with basic communication. They learn how to introduce themselves and others, talk about where things are using simple prepositions like in and on, and ask and answer basic questions using who, what, where, and when. Grammar focuses on the present tense and simple sentence structures, including subject pronouns and the verb to be. Students also learn to describe their abilities using can and can’t, talk about classroom objects, tell the time, use numbers and dates, and start to understand basic articles (a, an, the) and possessive adjectives like my and your.

Level 2 (Elementary)

At this stage, learners begin to describe their daily routines and talk about how often they do things using frequency words. They expand their vocabulary to talk about food, objects, and places, learning how to use some and any with countable and uncountable nouns. Grammar lessons include the past tense for regular and irregular verbs, the present continuous for actions happening now, and simple future plans with going to. They also learn how to compare things (bigger, more interesting), describe people and places, make polite requests and offers, and use time prepositions like on Monday or in the morning.

Level 3 (Pre-Intermediate)

Learners now start to connect their ideas and talk more fluently about their experiences, using the present perfect and past simple tenses. They practice giving advice and talking about rules or obligations using modals like must and should. This level also introduces conditional sentences for real situations, basic phrasal verbs, and relative clauses to add detail. Students begin expressing preferences and opinions, using reported speech to talk about what others have said, and combining past tenses for storytelling.

Level 4 (Intermediate)

At this level, students explore more complex ideas and sentence structures. They learn how to talk about imaginary situations using the second conditional and use the passive voice to focus on actions rather than people. Modals of deduction help them speculate about what might or must be true. They begin to recognize the difference between formal and informal language and use linking words like although and however to show contrast or cause and effect. Grammar includes gerunds and infinitives after verbs, and students practice giving stronger opinions, debating, and reporting questions and commands.

Level 5 (Upper-Intermediate)

This stage focuses on refining accuracy and expression. Learners use more advanced grammar such as mixed conditionals and inversion for emphasis (Rarely have I seen...). They work with idiomatic language and collocations to sound more natural and fluent, and practice writing formal texts using nominalisation and discourse markers. There's a focus on expressing regrets or speculating about the past, paraphrasing ideas, adjusting tone and register, and using phrasal verbs in more nuanced ways. Students are also taught how to write persuasively and structure arguments effectively.

Level 6 (Advanced)

At the highest level, learners develop a deep command of the language. They explore subtle differences in meaning with modal verbs, use hedging for academic or diplomatic speech, and employ sophisticated idioms and metaphorical language. They also study ellipsis and substitution to make their speech and writing more concise. Grammar covers nuanced time shifts and advanced conditionals, while reading and writing focus on analyzing and producing high-level academic or literary texts. Learners gain confidence with humor, irony, and sarcasm, examine stylistic devices in writing, and practice discussing complex topics, considering connotation, tone, dialects, and global varieties of English.
