Intermediate (B1) English: Speak with Confidence and Clarity
Reaching the Intermediate (B1) English level marks an exciting stage in your language journey. At this level, you are no longer limited to simple conversations—you can share opinions, describe experiences, and understand everyday discussions with much greater ease.
At Eton Institute, our English language courses follow international CEFR standards, ensuring that every learner builds step-by-step toward real-world fluency. The Intermediate program is divided into B1.1, B1.2, and B1.3, each designed to expand vocabulary, refine grammar, and boost communication skills.

Using compound adjectives and -ed / -ing adjectives to express emotions.
Writing both formal and informal emails and letters.
Practicing active and passive voice in everyday communication.
Learning to make small talk, sound polite, and engage in social expressions.
This stage helps learners go beyond basic descriptions and engage in meaningful conversations about family, work, and daily life
