Corso di Riallineamento di Inglese B1-B2
This course is intended for students who have already reached and consolidated a B1 (CEFR) level of English during their secondary school education and who wish to now reinforce this and expand their knowledge to a B2 level, addressing any gaps they may have by means of self-evaluation and independent study.
The course consists of 10 blocks, each one introducing a different academic area (business and management, sociology, Earth Sciences, etc.) by way of exercises that expand knowledge of the English language. The content is delivered via multimedia, but since the course is online, the activities and exercises concentrate on developing the passive skills (reading and listening) and knowledge of the language (grammar and vocabulary) – and not on developing the productive skills of speaking and writing. Lessons are self-paced’ but require you to follow all of them and in the order they occur. Every lesson contains a number of activities which are followed by a quiz. To successfully pass the level, it is necessary to read a minimum of 80% correct answers. All the quizzes can be repeated without limit and without penalties. Where appropriate, feedback is supplied to guide you to the correct answer.
