Interactive Listening

The "Interactive Listening" course helps students develop essential listening comprehension and communication skills, aligned with the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) guidelines. Learners enhance their ability to understand spoken language, recognize different accents, and respond meaningfully in conversations.

From following simple instructions at A1 to grasping the nuances of complex discussions at levels like B2 and C1, the course supports gradual progression through the CEFR stages. It emphasizes active listening techniques and practical application in real-life situations, such as casual exchanges, professional meetings, and group discussions.
