Through a variety of activities and approaches, this course focuses on helping participants build their general active and passive vocabulary in order to enable a better range of expression. While vocabulary is the main focus of the class, learning is contextualized within communicative exercises and activities, thus providing an environment for practising general English communication skills at the pre-advanced level as well.
This course does not require a C-test result. If you're unsure of your English level, take the placement test here: https://www.sprachtest.de/einstufungstest-englisch
This course is a good accompaniment to the English B2.1 course
