Content & methodology

The exercises are inspired by C1 Advanced exam questions, and are designed to take you from a B2 speaking level to a C1 speaking level.

You will be in groups of maximum 8 students.

Each week there will be:

  • solo, pair, and group speaking exercises
  • a different pronunciation point to practice
