This B1 (intermediate) level course focuses on revision of most of the key grammar covered in BYA1 – BYA4. This grammar is tested in the BY51 exam, both directly and in the speaking and writing parts. Students also work on their listening and speaking skills, and build their vocabulary, all of which are important for BY51. However, practice of specific BY51 exam tasks is left until BYA6, and the lessons in BYA5 will be similar in form to those for courses BYA1 - BYA4. If you are satisfied with your level of grammar, and your main interest is in preparing for the BY51 exam, you should probably go to BYA6. BYA5 focuses on the revision of what you need to know at intermediate level, and on increasing accuracy.

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.
