The course content remains functional and focused entirely on improving learner independence in all areas, especially in situations such as travel and accommodation, expressing oneself and responding to questions. In this course the learner will practise the narrative tenses (Past simple, Past continuous and Present perfect) and begin to practise re-telling personal experiences and stories from journeys or past events. As with the other levels on the course, there is frequent pronunciation practice and the learner has exposure to long and short sounds, correct regular past tense endings as well as general vocabulary and sentence level practice. The use of a variety of exercises encompasses different learner styles as well as guaranteeing thorough coverage of the topics covered.
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.
The AI final test contains a range of exercises to check the student's comprehension of the objectives covered in level B1.2 of Dexway Academy. There are activities focusing on the grammar and vocabulary presented in the course as well as reading, listening, writing and pronunciation tasks. This range of tasks provides a broad overview of the student's level and areas for improvement.
