Students will consolidate general vocabulary and grammar structures for everyday communication at B1 level. A student who successfully completes the GEN1 course understands the main ideas of comprehensible input on topics that he/she regularly encounters in everyday situations, in the workplace, while studying or visiting places where English is used as the main language of communication. They can engage in conversation, describe facts, events and goals, and can briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans.
