These learners might st struggle with the leap to Upper-intermediate, With English File Intermediate Plus we've created an optional additional Jevel which allows students to consolidate their existing skills from Incermediate, activate the grammar they have previously studied but don use, and expand their range of | vocabulary. In this way students can improve their language competence before continuing to Upper intermediate level.
