The Transitions course will help you connect ideas, direct the listener's attention, add emphasis and communicate more smoothly and naturally.
Each lesson has a language theme (for example, describing results) and a topic (for example, discussing education). You will build your English skills while having an in-depth discussion on topics that often come up in speaking tests.
This course is highly recommended for students who need a score above 2.0 on the G.B.C. assessment, and for students with a high TOEIC score who need to use English in professional situations. Students looking to give presentations and confidently share complex opinions will also benefit from improving their use of transitions.
Time to complete
There is no trial lesson; just use Transitions 1 to give your student a taste. Start at the Language section if you are short on time.
This course is aimed at students who are good at vocabulary and grammar, but whose ideas still come out unnaturally.
Every transition phrase is defined and scaffolded so that even intermediate-level students can do this course, but the true focus is advanced students.
The G.B.C. targets are all in Communication of Information, specifically:
- lacked transitional phrases,
- lacked clarity variety of phrases, and
- discourse was incohesive.
