IEP Program: 6-Level Curriculum

GL Academy’s Intensive English Program (IEP) is organized into a six-level system to provide an optimal learning environment tailored to each learner’s ability. With an accurate placement test, you start at the most suitable level for you and build your skills with confidence.

Level 1

Starter

Designed for absolute beginners who are new to English or want to restart from the alphabet. Learn basic greetings, numbers, and self-introductions while building confidence in English.

Level 2

Beginner

For learners who know simple words but find sentence building difficult. Focus on the present tense to form short sentences and lay a foundation for basic communication.

Level 3

Pre-Intermediate

Based on basic grammar, learn expressions for familiar situations such as shopping and travel. Use the past and future tenses to talk about your experiences.

Level 4

Intermediate

Communicate comfortably in most everyday situations and move toward greater fluency. Practice explaining your opinions on a variety of topics in detail.

Level 5

Upper-Intermediate

Develop the ability to discuss broad topics—society, culture, and more—logically. Understand complex sentence structures and build a foundation for formal writing.

Level 6

Advanced

Aim for near-native proficiency. Engage in in-depth discussion on specialized subjects and grasp—and use—subtle nuances with confidence.
