English Courses

The English curriculum is aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for languages. It takes learners from the beginning of the A1 stage to the end of the B2 stage using digital resources. The focus is on language learning and teaching through "flipped classrooms," "task-based learning," "autonomous learning," and "lifelong learning." 

The CEFR proposes a model of language learning based on two key notions of tasks and interaction and communicative language usage in authentic situations.

The English curriculum is 16 courses covering four stages. By the end of each stage, learners obtain a stage certificate with their CEFR level, which is internationally benchmarked.
