ABOUT THIS COURSE
This course will guide you, step by step, through all the language content and skills you will need to use English effectively at an intermediate level.

The course consists of four modules from beginner to intermediate levels. Each module contains 30 lessons in 5 parts:

MODULE 1
Part A - Reading text (recorded)
Part B - Listening text (recorded)
Part C - Comprehension exercise
Part D - Vocabulary or grammar exercises
Part E - Memorization exercise

MODULES 2, 3 and 4
Part A - Reading text
Part B - Listening text (recorded)
Part C - Comprehension exercise
Part D - Vocabulary and/or grammar exercises
Part E - Memorization exercise

It is expected that each lesson takes an average of up to three hours of study. The entire course of 120 lessons therefore accounts for 360 hours of study.

The course begins with Module 1 at the most basic level (learning the alphabet), and gradually
progresses to Module 4 at intermediate level.

If you are not sure where to begin in this course, do the placement test first.
