Course description:
Group online courses are full-featured courses that take place 100% on our e-learning platform, without printed textbooks. Participants solve a variety of online exercises. Approximately 70% of these are exercises that require independent work. In addition, there are group exercises and exercises to be submitted to the teacher (including speaking tasks). The course participants work on these exercises individually or in groups. All skills are practised: reading, writing, listening, speaking (3-4 speaking tasks or pronunciation exercises per chapter). There are also 3-4 online meetings at each level.

Participants are constantly supervised by a teacher who monitors their work, gives feedback, makes sure that participants regularly solve the tasks, and conducts online meetings.
