Overview
The General English: Upper Intermediate (Low B2 Level) course is a full-time, 7-week in-person programme for foreign students aiming to communicate confidently in English in general work, academic, and social contexts. Aligned with the B2 level of the CEFR, the course develops students' knowledge of language functions and vocabulary through interactive classes held daily from 9:00 to 14:00. Students practise extended discussions, report and letter writing, and presentations. Themes include advertising, fashion, science, crime, and travel. Grammar includes all major tenses (simple, continuous, perfect, future forms), passive and active voice, modal verbs (present and past), relative clauses, participles, idiomatic expressions, and more. By the end of the course, students should be able to handle workplace communication, give prepared presentations, and write clearly and effectively. Assessment includes mid-course and final testing across speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary. A quality-assured certificate from the University of the Witwatersrand is issued on successful completion.
