Dexway Fast English B2.2 is a highly visual course, which takes the learner from Lower-intermediate to Intermediate level. Using video as the main format to present new expressions and structures, the learner sees how the language is used by native speakers, in meaningful contexts, simulating the way we learn our first language - naturally. The use of video makes the course accessible and entertaining - meaning that learners grasp concepts quickly. There are exercises based on the communicative aspects of the content, rather than the grammar, which is covered in context.
Students are presented with more complex concepts of the English language and are encouraged to continue to improve theirS pronunciation through interactive exercises. The language skills acquired in the course will enable students to communicate confidently in a wide range of contexts and to maintain conversations in everyday situations as well as in more complex ones. Topics such as free time, culture, making complaints and expressing statistics are all covered, along with the relevant grammatical structures. Students are now able to use phrasal verbs, gerunds & infinitives, linking words, past modals and a range of past, present and future tenses in order to express themselves easily, only hesitating in more unfamiliar situations.
By the end of the course, students will have seen the language necessary to deal with any situation in an English-speaking country - in particular, to talk about past habits, give detailed physical descriptions, to discuss GM food and to converse about history and culture. The course also presents more useful structures and expressions that are needed to communicate in a range of situations.
The course also includes specific speaking and writing assignments focusing on the main grammar and vocabulary of each unit as well as practice with mediation-style tasks. In addition to the more controlled practice provided by the assignments, AI role-plays offer free practice with the topics covered - giving learners the opportunity to participate in spontaneous speaking activities, replicating realistic exchanges.
