BEGINNER
This level builds foundational communication for daily life and basic factual conversations. Students master the present simple tense of "to be," imperatives, and basic question words (who, what, when). Vocabulary focuses on immediate needs: personal details, family, household objects, and time. By the end of the course, students can complete simple forms, write routine requests, and follow basic instructions.
INTERMEDIATE
Students refine their fluency to handle social and professional interactions, such as discussing advantages/disadvantages and describing complex lifestyles. The curriculum introduces 2nd and 3rd conditionals, the passive voice, and reported speech. Writing expands to formal and informal letters, while reading focuses on identifying gist, inference, and distinguishing fact from opinion. Vocabulary covers broader themes like the environment, society, and personal values.
ADVANCED
Focuses on near-native precision, enabling students to negotiate, collaborate, and present balanced arguments on complex issues. Learners master shades of meaning, idiomatic language, and the "language of caution" to eliminate ambiguity. The syllabus uses academic and authentic texts to teach high-level inference. Specialized vocabulary covers global topics such as economic issues, international events, and the rights of the individual.
