By the end of the Intermediate level, students will be able to communicate effectively in everyday situations that require a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar topics. They can understand the main points of clear standard speech and written texts related to work, school, travel, family, and areas of personal interest. This level represents a key transition toward greater communicative independence, enabling learners to initiate, maintain, and conclude conversations with growing confidence.

Grammar

At this level, students consolidate their use of common verb tenses (present simple/continuous, past simple/continuous, and future with will and going to) and are introduced to the present perfect for discussing experiences and recent events. Instruction also includes first conditional sentences, the passive voice in present and past, and modal verbs for expressing obligation, advice, and possibility (e.g., must, should, have to, might). Learners begin using indirect questions and more advanced linking devices to structure their speech and writing. The goal is to strengthen grammatical accuracy and expand sentence complexity in both spoken and written communication.

Writing

Students develop the ability to write more detailed and organized texts with a clear communicative purpose. They produce short compositions such as messages, emails, descriptions, narratives, and opinion paragraphs using a range of vocabulary and cohesive devices. Instruction focuses on paragraph development, appropriate register, and overall coherence. Students are encouraged to edit their own work, improve lexical variety, and express personal ideas with increasing clarity and independence.
