The English B1 course is aimed at revising grammar and lexical structures at B1 one level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)* which students acquire at Secondary School.
The English B1 course is an online one and can be accessed at the following URL https://clire.aulaweb.unige.it/
*The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) describes what a learner is supposed to be able to do in a foreign language.
The course provides the language skills defined by the Council of Europe in the B1 proficiency level
For further information on the various levels from A1 and A2 to B1, as well as higher ones, such as B2, C1 and C2, please check the British Council website either in Italian or in English.
All students who attended the school system in Italy learnt English as a compulsory subject for 8 years, i.e. at middle school for 3 years and at high-school for 5 more years. Therefore, all students graduating from Italian secondary schools are expected to reach the B2 level before enrolling at university.
The online English B1 course is a self-directed learning course and is available at the following link https://clire.aulaweb.unige.it/.
The online English B1 course offers self-learning material, aimed at catching up with English B1 grammar and syntax structures and training to sit the PC-based English B1 test. It's a trainer course meant to offer you enough revision to be able to sit the English B1 test.
As a self-learning activity, the online English B1 course is meant to be carried out with maximum freedom to fit in with each student's own needs, learning pace, timetable, and other classes. However, it is strongly recommended that the online English B1 course is attended consistently, that is, devoting at least 20/30 minutes to it each day when students start working on it. Consistency will allow students to progress more efficiently in their revision and get ready to sit the PC-based English B1 test.
The online English B1 course is available at https://clire.aulaweb.unige.it/ and it is made of four modules. The first three are exercises, activities and grammar focuses aimed at revising B1 level skills and abilities that learners should have already learnt at school. Module 4 is split in three sections and each is a mock test or exam practice that allows students to practice exam exercises and activities.
