Course information
The course English Advanced 1 is intended for students who are able to carry on a conversation without thinking too long about how to formulate a reaction and be able to read texts on a wide range of topics.
This course focuses on listening, reading, writing and speaking. Grammar and vocabulary are also covered as components of these skills.
Course schedule and prices
Intake
The intake procedure for this course consists of: online intake conversation.
After you have enrolled for this course, we will invite you for an assessment to determine your level. We recommend that you enrol at least two weeks before the start of the course. If you enrol later than this, we cannot guarantee there will be time for the intake procedure.
If you have completed the English Upper Intermediate 2 course at UvA Talen, an assessment will not be necessary.
Course content
During English Advanced 1, you will be introduced to the nuances of spoken English. For example, you will learn to idiomatic expressions and colloquialisms, and you will become increasingly adept at using figurative and witty language. If you make an error in speech, you will be able to correct yourself without interruption.
By the end of this course, you will be able to write texts as an independent language user. For example, you will be able to write a reaction in which you use such vocabulary as you’re spot on and I’m in two minds about that. You will be able to read texts on a variety of topics, including private, academic and professional.
The grammar covered during English Advanced 1 is of a high level. Skills you will learn include the use of the future in the past (he was about to get on the bus) and compound nouns (game console, passer-by).
Certificate
You will complete the course with an oral and written exam.
If you successfully complete this course, you will receive a certificate showing the level you have attained and you will be able to continue to English Advanced 2.
Course material

What is the difference between an online and in class course? Can I combine an online and in class course?
There is no difference in the course content and course material between the online and in class course, only a difference in format. The online courses take place via Zoom and the in class courses at the Roeterseiland in Amsterdam. By using breakout-rooms teachers will aim to provide the same interaction as during an in class course. In both formats students are expected to actively participate in the course.
The choice for an online or in class course depends on your personal preference for location and teaching style.
It is not possible to combine an online and in class course. If you start a course online, you will follow the entire course online. The same applies to in class courses. This is in order to ensure the peace in our classes and avoid a lot of changes between classes.
How much time should I expect to spend on studying by myself?
Students generally need to spend double the amount of time of the course on studying by themselves. This means that if your course is 40 hours of class, you can expect about 80 hours of homework and self study. In our experience, the more time you invest in homework, the more you benefit from your course.
Which teacher will teach my group course?
In the week before the start of the course you will receive your final course confirmation which mentions your teacher.
At UvA Talen we have a variety of professional teachers with years of experience teaching to adults. Due to our feedback sessions with teacher we can guarantee the quality of our teachers. We have set standards for the qualification of our teacher. Depending on the type of course, we will often choose for a native speaker of your language.
