B2 means full autonomy: you can follow a debate, defend a position with nuance, read the contemporary press and modern literature. The path is built around 8 themed dossiers (instead of units) — trends, history, culture, technology, society, environment, work, education — with oral & written strategies and open-ended projects on the world. In preparation, after B1.
