B1+ (level 2) writing course (online.1) (WR2.1)


Description

This is a self-study writing course at the B1+ level (Brainworks level 2). The course is very similar to the face-to-face writing course that has been running for several years but completely new in content. I tried to keep the format and the types of activities as close to the F2F classes as possible; however, due to the online nature of the course, collaboration will be less prominent. To counterbalance this effect, you can buddy up with teachers doing the same level writing course and discuss the activities. To make sure you are at the right level, as a first step, the Training Department will verify your level.
