What do Pre-intermediate students need?

Pre-intermediate students are at a crucial stage in their learning. The novelty of being a beginner may have worn off, but the goal of communicating with ease and fluency can still feel a long way off. Students at this level more than ever need material that maintains their enthusiasm and builds their confidence. They need to know how much they are learning and what they can now achieve. At the
same time they need the encouragement to push themselves to use the new language that they are learning.

What do Intermediate students need?

The intermediate level is often a milestone for students: at this point, many students really begin to 'take off* in terms of their ability to communicate. Some students, however, may see the intermediate level as a 'plateau' and feel that they are no longer making the progress they were before. Students at this level need fresh challenges to help them to realize how much they know and to make their passive knowledge active, together with a steady input of new language.
