Despre cursul English for Designers, nivelul Upper-Intermediate
Dacă ești un designer cu experiență sau un design lead din Chișinău și cauți un curs de engleză online potrivit pentru nivelul tău, ai ajuns în locul potrivit. Programul „Engleză pentru designeri” de la englishschool.pro este creat exact pentru profesioniștii care vor să treacă de la un limbaj simplu la o exprimare sofisticată și nuanțată în mediul de lucru internațional. Pentru a urma acest curs cu succes, este nevoie să ai deja un nivel B2 (Upper-Intermediate) și să îți dorești să ajungi la C1. Fără aceste lecții de engleză orientate spre practică reală, riști să te blochezi în discuțiile strategice cu stakeholders sau în negocierile complexe.
Cursul conține 60 de lecții împărțite în 10 unități tematice extrem de relevante pentru industrie. Vei învăța despre leading design, design under pressure, design operations, craft and quality, design systems at scale, research and evidence, influence and negotiation, hiring and careers, communication și the frontier. Printre subiecte concrete abordate se numără primul tău rol de design lead, crearea unui sistem multi-brand bazat pe tokeni, oferirea de feedback tactuos pentru executives, discuții despre design culture sau lucrul cu interfețe spațiale. Structura te ajută să stăpânești exact situațiile cu care te confrunți zi de zi la job.
Pe parcursul celor 60 de lecții, vei aprofunda structuri gramaticale avansate, adaptate nevoilor tale de exprimare. Vei învăța cum să folosești viitorul în trecut (was going to, would), comportamente enervante (will / would, be always + -ing), trecutul nereal (it's high time, suppose + past), contrastul și concesia (although, despite, much as), nominalizarea în scrierea formală sau alternativele la if (otherwise, supposing, but for). De asemenea, programul include modale de necesitate și critică la trecut, tehnici de distancing și hedging (seem to, allegedly), future perfect continuous, propoziții condiționale inversate (Had we…), clauze cu particule pentru timp și cauză (Having restarted…), inversia negativă pentru accent, prepoziții dependente, clauze relative avansate, conjunctivul în cerințe formale, fraze nominale complexe, modale de deducție, conectori discursivi pentru argumentare, pasive avansate, cuantificatori preciși, exprimarea cauzei și efectului, numere aproximative, concesia cu -ever, tact și diplomă, sugestii tentante, raportare avansată, întrebări negative, generalizări, elipsă, fronting și exprimarea scopului.
Vocabularul este un pilon central: vei învăța între 20 și 30 de cuvinte noi per lecție, ajungând la un total de 1320 de termeni specializați, cu repetiție constantă pentru fixare pe termen lung. Fiecare lecție de pe englishschool.pro oferă exerciții interactive, înregistrări audio pentru ascultare, texte de lectură, un dicționar încorporat cu traduceri în română și rusă, precum și o listă personală de cuvinte. Platforma funcționează bine pe telefon.
După finalizarea acestui nivel, vei putea susține prezentări clare, vei negocia bugete și termene-limită cu încredere, vei oferi feedback constructiv fără să creezi tensiuni și vei scrie documentație tehnică sau changelog-uri la un nivel profesional. Vei trece de la simpla înțelegere a limbajului la a fi un lider de opinie respectat în echipele multinaționale.
Poți începe gratuit și imediat: primele 10 lecții sunt deschise oricui, fără a fi nevoie de un cont. Următoarele 10 lecții (11-20) sunt gratuite dacă te înregistrezi cu numele și adresa de email. Astfel, poți testa calitatea materialelor înainte de a lua o decizie.
Dacă vrei să parcurgi totul pe cont propriu, nivelul complet (toate cele 60 de lecții) costă doar 210 lei, plătiți o singură dată, cu acces nelimitat pe viață și garanție de rambursare integrală în 14 zile. Pentru cei care preferă îndrumarea directă, oferim lecții individuale online cu profesor: 50 de minute la prețul de 250 lei, iar prima lecție de probă este complet gratuită.

Также изучаются прошедшие модальные глаголы необходимости и критики, средства смягчения высказываний (hedging), future perfect continuous, инвертированные условные предложения (Had we…), причастные обороты, отрицательная инверсия для эмфазы, зависимые предлоги, сложные относительные придаточные, сослагательное наклонение в формальных требованиях, именные группы, модальные глаголы дедукции, дискурсивные маркеры, пассивные конструкции, кванторы, причины и следствия, приблизительные числа, уступка с -ever, тактичность и дипломатия, эмфаза, варианты мягких предложений, продвинутая косвенная речь, отрицательные вопросы, обобщения, эллипсис, фронтинг и выражение цели.
Словарный запас курса составляет до 30 новых слов на урок (всего 1320 терминов), причем пройденная лексика регулярно возвращается в упражнениях для надежного закрепления. Каждая страница на englishschool.pro содержит интерактивные упражнения, аудиозаписи, тексты для чтения, встроенный словарь с переводом на русский и румынский языки, а также ваш личный список слов. Платформа отлично адаптирована для работы на смартфонах.
После завершения уровня вы сможете уверенно защищать концепции, аргументированно вести переговоры о бюджетах и сроках, давать деликатную критику и составлять техническую документацию или changelog-и на уровне носителя языка. Вы перестанете испытывать языковой барьер в сложных профессиональных дискуссиях.
