Despre cursul English for Designers, nivelul Pre-Intermediate

Cauți un curs de engleză online potrivit pentru activitatea ta creativă? „English for designers” este creat special pentru designeri care au nevoie de limba engleză în carieră, dar nu au timp de manuale plictisitoare cu teme generale. Acest nivel Pre-Intermediate (CEFR A2+ → B1) se adresează celor care înțeleg deja bazele limbii, dar vor să treacă la nivelul următor și să vorbească liber despre design, aplicații și site-uri web.

Programul include 60 de lecții împărțite în 10 unități tematice: de la „Me and my design team” și „Stories from projects”, până la „Working life”, „Problems and solutions”, „Career” și „The big picture”. Înveți prin situații reale din lumea designului: cum să te prezinți când intri într-o echipă („Nice to meet you: joining a design team”), cine este cine într-o echipă de produs („Who's who in a product team”), cum s-a făcut redesignul unei aplicații („How we redesigned the app”), cum planifici un site („Planning a website redesign”) sau cum treci de la brief la lansare („From brief to launch”). De asemenea, abordezi subiecte precum „Too much on the screen: white space”, „Usability testing: will they find the button?”, redactarea de emailuri către clienți („Emails to clients”), prezentarea unui design („Presenting a design”) și etica în domeniu („Ethics in design”).

Pe parcursul celor 60 de lecții înveți gramatica aplicată în mod natural: de la ordinea cuvintelor în întrebări, Present Simple și Present Continuous, până la propoziții relative („Defining relative clauses”), Past Simple și Past Continuous, timpii viitori (Be going to, Will pentru predicții, promisiuni sau oferte, și „Shall I…?”), Present Perfect (cu ever, never, just, already, yet sau cu for și since), comparative și superlative, cuantificatori („too and not enough”), verbe modale de obligație și sfat („Have to, don't have to, must, mustn't, should”), structuri cu „Verb + to-infinitive” sau „Verb + -ing”, primul și al doilea condițional, verbe modale pentru posibilitate („May and might”), cereri politicoase („Could you…?”, „Would you mind…?”), diateza pasivă, verbe frazale („phrasal verbs”), vorbire indirectă („Reported speech”) și Past Perfect.

Vocabularul este bogat și specific: înveți între 20 și 30 de cuvinte noi per lecție, ajungând la un total de 1380 de termeni noi, iar cuvintele învățate anterior revin constant în exerciții, astfel încât să le reții pe termen lung. Platforma funcționează bine pe telefon, iar lecțiile sunt concepute interactiv. Fiecare pagină conține exerciții interactive, înregistrări audio, texte de citit, un dicționar încorporat cu traduceri în română și rusă, precum și propria ta listă personală de cuvinte.

După ce finalizezi acest curs, vei putea purta discuții profesionale în echipă, vei explica deciziile de design, vei prezenta portofoliul și vei colabora ușor cu clienți din afara țării. Poți începe gratuit chiar acum: lecțiile 1–10 sunt libere pentru oricine, fără cont, iar lecțiile 11–20 devin accesibile gratuit creând un cont cu nume și email.

О курсе English for Designers, уровень Pre-Intermediate

Ищете курс английского языка, который создан специально под ваши профессиональные задачи? «English for designers» — это современные уроки английского онлайн для дизайнеров в Молдове, которым нужен язык для реальной работы, а не скучные академические тексты. Этот курс уровня Pre-Intermediate (CEFR A2+ → B1) подходит тем, кто уже владеет базовыми знаниями и хочет увереннее обсуждать интерфейсы, сайты, процессы и рабочие задачи.

Программа состоит из 60 уроков, объединенных в 10 тематических модулей: от «Me and my design team» и «Stories from projects» до «Working life», «Problems and solutions», «Career» и «The big picture». Вы разбираете ситуации из ежедневной практики: как влиться в новую команду («Nice to meet you: joining a design team»), кто есть кто в продуктовой команде («Who's who in a product team»), как проходил редизайн приложения («How we redesigned the app»), как планируется сайт («Planning a website redesign») или как пройти путь от брифа до запуска («From brief to launch»). Также рассматриваются такие темы, как «Too much on the screen: white space», «Usability testing: will they find the button?», написание писем клиентам («Emails to clients»), презентация концепции («Presenting a design») и профессиональная этика («Ethics in design»).

Грамматика подается через призму реального общения: порядок слов в вопросах, Present Simple и Present Continuous, наречия частотности, определительные придаточные предложения („Defining relative clauses”), Past Simple и Past Continuous, маркеры времени („first, then, when, while, so, because, although”), специальные вопросы к подлежащему, планы через „Be going to” и договоренности через Present Continuous, прогнозы и обещания с „Will”, предложения и решения („Shall I…?”), Present Perfect с „ever, never, just, already, yet”, а также сравнение с Past Simple. В программу также входят степени сравнения прилагательных и наречий, квантификаторы („much, many, a lot of, a few, a little, too, not enough”), модальные глаголы обязательства и совета („Have to, don't have to, must, mustn't, should”), инфинитив и герундий („Verb + to-infinitive”, „Verb + -ing”), первый и второй условные типы („First and Second Conditionals”), неопределенные местоимения, вероятность с „May and might”, вежливые просьбы и косвенные вопросы, пассивный залог в Present и Past Simple, фразовые глаголы, конструкции „So / neither + auxiliaries”, косвенная речь („Reported speech”), вводные слова и Past Perfect.

Словарный запас пополняется на 20–30 новых слов в каждом уроке (всего 1380 слов), причем пройденная лексика регулярно возвращается в упражнениях для надежного закрепления. Учиться удобно с любого устройства, платформа отлично работает на телефоне. Вас ждут интерактивные упражнения на каждой странице, аудиозаписи, тексты для чтения, встроенный словарь с переводами на румынский и русский языки, а также персональный список слов.

После завершения уровня вы сможете уверенно общаться с коллегами, аргументировать свои дизайн-решения, защищать проекты и работать с зарубежными заказчиками. Вы можете начать обучение бесплатно прямо сейчас: уроки с 1 по 10 доступны каждому без регистрации, а уроки с 11 по 20 открываются бесплатно после создания аккаунта по имени и email.
