INTENSYWNY ANGIELSKI KONWERSACJE/General English na poziomie B1

Foundational Tenses & Personal Info: Introduce simple present and simple past. Practice personal information vocabulary (name, age, job, etc.) and self-introductions.

Present Simple vs. Present Continuous: Contrast present simple (habits/general facts) with present continuous (current actions). Highlight stative vs. dynamic uses. Students talk about routines and what is happening now.

Verb Patterns & Jobs: Teach verbs followed by –ing vs. infinitives (e.g. enjoy doing vs. decide to do). Vocabulary on occupations; reading about people’s lives.

Conversation Skills I: Functional phrases for starting and ending conversations, and keeping them going. Role-play greeting someone, making small talk, asking follow-ups, and saying goodbye politely.

Past Simple vs. Present Perfect & Story Words: Practice telling stories. Past simple for completed past events vs. present perfect for experiences or past actions linked to now. Use narrative connectors like then, suddenly, after that.

Question Forms & Word Classes: Form yes/no and information questions (auxiliary inversion, do/does/did). Practice turning verbs into nouns (decide → decision) and vice versa.

Future Plans & Intentions: Talk about future plans with going to for intentions and will for decisions or offers. Students discuss personal goals and resolutions (e.g. learning a new hobby).

Polite Inquiries & City Places: Use polite language for requests and questions (Could you…? Would it be possible…?). Vocabulary for city places (bank, library, station) and asking for directions or help in a town context.

Modals: Rules and Advice & Success Vocabulary: Practice modal verbs. Must/have to for obligations (“You must wear a uniform”), should for advice (“You should rest more”). Introduce success-related words (achievement, goal, improve).

Future Goals & Holidays: Continue with future forms in the context of holiday plans and life goals. Write and talk about New Year’s resolutions (“I will start working out more”). Discuss past holidays using future tenses (e.g. predicting holiday weather).

Articles & Tech Collocations: Review “a/an/the” usage (specific vs. general). Learn technology collocations (e.g. cutting-edge technology, social media site) and word-building suffixes (like –er, –tion to form nouns).

Present Perfect + Superlatives (Memorable Journey): Use superlatives with present perfect to talk about experiences (“the most beautiful place I have ever seen”). Students describe their best/worst trips.

Conversation Skills II: More conversation practice (longer dialogues). Techniques to keep dialogue flowing (asking open questions, showing interest). Role-plays on real-life situations (meeting classmates, at a party).

Future Predictions (will/might/be going to): Expressing future possibilities. Use will for likely outcomes and might for uncertain predictions. Compare them in context (e.g. “It might rain today, but the forecast says it will be sunny”).

Used to & Arts Vocabulary: Introduce used to for past habits or states (e.g. “I used to play piano”). Contrast with past simple. Vocabulary on arts (painting, music, theater) for discussing past hobbies.

Present Perfect with for/since: Practice expressing durations. For + a period (for two hours, for years) and since + a start point (since 2010, since Monday) to say how long something has been true.

First & Second Conditionals: Conditional sentences: First conditional (if + present → will) for real future possibilities (“If I have time, I will visit”). Second conditional (if + past → would) for hypothetical situations (“If I won the lottery, I would travel the world”). Introduce travel/tourism words (itinerary, souvenir).

Ability & Phrasal Verbs: Modal verbs for ability. Can/could/be able to (present vs. past ability). E.g., “She can swim fast”, “When he was young, he could play football”. Introduce common phrasal verbs (turn on, look after) in everyday contexts.

Active vs. Passive Voice & Tech Vocab: Teach active vs. passive forms: Active – subject does the action (“Engineers design the software”); Passive – subject receives the action (“The software was designed by engineers”). Practise converting sentences. Vocabulary: more tech terms and describing how devices are used/powered.

Competencies Review: Review all grammar and vocabulary through communicative activities and quizzes. Reinforce the course competencies (speaking fluency, accurate grammar, interactive listening).
