B2 Review (in-person ~ Wed. PM)

Structurally: The B2 Review course consolidates the grammar covered throughout the B2 level. Students will review and reinforce complex sentence structures, verb tenses, passive voice, Konjunktiv II, relative clauses, nominalization, adjective endings, prepositional verbs, connectors, and other advanced grammatical features. Emphasis will be placed on increasing accuracy, recognizing common errors, and applying grammatical structures confidently in spoken and written communication.

Functionally: Students will strengthen their ability to communicate effectively in a wide range of personal, academic, and professional contexts. They will review and expand B2 vocabulary through thematic units, practice expressing and defending opinions, discussing current issues, presenting arguments, summarizing information, and participating in spontaneous conversations. Authentic texts and communicative activities will reinforce both receptive and productive language skills.

Objectives: At the end of the B2 Review course, students will be able to use the core grammar and vocabulary of the B2 level with greater accuracy and confidence. They will communicate more fluently in familiar and unfamiliar situations, understand the main ideas of complex spoken and written texts, express themselves clearly in discussions and presentations, and demonstrate increased readiness for C1 coursework or B2 proficiency examinations.
