Our T4 English group is designed for teenagers completing the final stage of the B1 level of English (normally at 4-ESO, Fourth year of Secondary) but also open to younger or older students. At this stage, students consolidate everything learned in B1.1 and B1.2, refine their accuracy and fluency, and develop the skills and confidence needed to progress successfully to B2.

Completing the B1.3 stage is a key achievement in language learning. Students become more independent in understanding and producing both spoken and written English, and are well-prepared for the Cambridge B1 Preliminary exam or for beginning the B2 level. Lessons focus on advanced use of B1 grammar, richer vocabulary, and more complex communication tasks that reflect real-life situations.

Who is it for?

• Teenagers aged 12–17 who have completed B1.2 or have an equivalent level.
• Students aiming to finish the B1 level with a strong result.
