Class levels
The part-time
English classes at the Boston Academy of English are divided
into 6 levels. Each level is divided into sections A and
B. Students need to take 2 sessions (12 weeks), to complete
each full level.
To determine your appropriate level, you
will need to take a placement test
the week before classes begin.
Below is a summary of the main topics in each of the 6
levels.
Our beginner levels
concentrate on basic English grammar and conversation functions.
Students learn the simple tenses (present, past and future),
and among the topics covered are greetings and relationships,
events and activities, home and work, and appearance.
This level continues to concentrate on
basic English skills. Students focus on the simple present tense
and the present progressive tense. Topics covered include clothes
and shopping, going out and restaurants, and travel.
In this level, the grammar structures are
more complex. Students study the present perfect, past progressive
and conditional tenses. They discuss issues such as entertainment,
personal care, ethics and values.
The focus of this course is to help students
become more comfortable participating in complex conversations.
Topics covered include health matters, life choices, literature
and technology. Grammar topics covered include modals and past
perfect, causative, conditional tenses.
In this level, students focus on the present
perfect and present perfect progressive tenses, passive voice,
and modals. They discuss issues such as music, money and advertising,
history and community.
This level concentrates on fluency and
so reviews and expands on a lot of the grammar learned in the
previous levels. Grammar topics include present perfect and
present perfect progressive tenses, passive voice, conditional
sentences and phrasal verbs. |
