Despre cursul English for Designers, nivelul Intermediate
Dacă ești în căutarea unui curs de engleză online potrivit pentru activitatea ta creativă, ai ajuns unde trebuie. Acest program de studiu se adresează designerilor care au deja un nivel pre-intermediar și doresc să ajungă la nivelul B2 (Intermediate). Este ideal pentru oricine caută lecții de engleză adaptate provocărilor reale din lumea designului, de la interacțiunea cu beneficiarii până la prezentarea propriilor idei.
Programa este structurată în 10 unități tematice și include în total 60 de lecții captivante. Vei explora subiecte direct relevante pentru cariera ta, cum ar fi gestionarea discuțiilor incipiente (the discovery call), evaluarea calității proiectelor prin întrebări precum „Absolutely brilliant sau a bit boring?”, investigarea motivelor pentru care scade conversia și urmărirea unui calendar de design bine pus la punct. De asemenea, vei învăța cum să abordezi un audit de accesibilitate, ce limite și permisiuni ai în activitatea zilnică, cum să colaborezi eficient cu dezvoltatorii și cum să gestionezi aspecte legate de date, cercetare și feedback de la utilizatori.
Din punct de vedere gramatical, cursul acoperă treptat toate structurile necesare exprimării nuanțate. Vei aprofunda formarea întrebărilor (subject and object questions, indirect questions), utilizarea timpurilor verbale (Present simple și continuous, state verbs, Present perfect, narrative tenses), verbele modale pentru deducții (must, might, can't) și exprimarea obiceiurilor trecute (used to, would, be used to / get used to). Pe parcurs, vei învăța despre adjectivele în -ed și -ing, comparații, clauze de timp și de viitor, conditionalet (first, second, third, mixed), diateza pasivă, structuri cauzative (have / get something done), verbe de raportare, exprimarea obligației, a permisiunii și a scopului, precum și utilizarea corectă a articolelor, a cuantificatorilor, a verbelor modale pentru abilitate, a formelor de viitor (be about to, be due to) și a clauzelor cu particule (participle clauses).
Vocabularul este un punct forte al acestui curs de engleză pentru designeri. Înveți între 20 și 30 de cuvinte noi per lecție, ajungând la un total de 1323 de termeni specializați, concepuți astfel încât cuvintele anterioare să revină constant în exerciții. Procesul de învățare este extrem de intuitiv: ai la dispoziție exerciții interactive pe fiecare pagină, înregistrări audio, texte de citit, un dicționar integrat cu traduceri în română și rusă, precum și o listă personală de cuvinte. Totul funcționează bine și pe telefon.
După finalizarea acestui nivel, vei putea susține prezentări convingătoare pentru a-ți argumenta deciziile de design (design rationale), vei discuta fără teamă despre cerințele utilizatorilor, vei negocia eficient cu clienții și vei explica strategii complexe de produs sau interfețe pentru fiecare ecran și stare în parte. Vei înțelege sfaturi de la design directori și vei descrie tendințele pieței folosind termeni specifici de creștere și scădere.

Курс состоит из 10 тематических юнитов и включает в общей сложности 60 глубоких уроков. Вы разберете такие темы, как проведение вводного звонка (the discovery call), оценка решений «Absolutely brilliant or a bit boring?», анализ падения конверсии и составление таймлайна проекта.

Грамматическая составляющая курса выстроена системно и последовательно.

Программа охватывает прилагательные на -ed и -ing, модальные глаголы дедукции (must, might, can't), временные придаточные, будущее время во всех формах (future continuous, future perfect, be about to), условные предложения (first, second, third, mixed conditionals), пассивный залог, каузативные конструкции (have / get something done), косвенную речь и глаголы репортажа, модальность и выражение цели.
Лексика курса ориентирована на реальные нужды: в каждом уроке дается от 20 до 30 новых слов (всего 1323 термина), причем пройденный материал постоянно возвращается в новых упражнениях для надежного запоминания. Учиться удобно: на каждой странице вас ждут интерактивные задания, аудиозаписи для прослушивания, тексты для чтения, встроенный словарь с переводами на русский и румынский языки, а также ваш личный словарь. Платформа отлично работает прямо на телефоне.
После завершения уровня вы сможете уверенно аргументировать свои проектные решения (presenting a design rationale), обсуждать потребности пользователей, вести переговоры с заказчиками, описывать тренды с помощью специализированных терминов (rise, fall, level off, peak) и понимать советы дизайн-директоров. Вы перестанете бояться языкового барьера при обсуждении рабочих задач.
