What would an "intermediate" course in a foreign language encompass?

Answer 1

I'm a teacher of EFL. Our courses should include a mixture of 'the skills' - that is reading, listening, speaking and writing - and 'input' that is grammar, vocabulary, functional language and pronunciation.

The grammar, at intermediate level, is likely to include:
comparatives and superlatives
conditionals
all tenses
passive structures

Any good teacher, however, will listen to how you speak, read what you write, and design classes that suit your needs. Often you can request anything that you would like to learn - you can at all the schools I've worked at anyway.

Answer 2

I am taking an upper level class and we speak and write the language a lot. We also study the grammar and culture/society of the language. Intermediates arent that hard.

Answer 3

Intermediate is one step up from beginner. If you are just learning a language start with the beginner class. If you already know the basics then I'd say you're okay for intermediate.
