Close to 200 secondary-school students sit the B1 and B2 English exam at UIC Barcelona

On 1 June, the University’s Aula Magna played host to a B1 and B2 English certification exam, which was taken by close to 200 students from schools throughout Catalonia.

This is the third year the University organised this exam, through which participants had the opportunity to certify a B1 or, new this year, B2 level of English, based on the Richmond learning materials High Achievers and Fast Track. The exam lasted all morning and tested the students’ reading comprehension, listening comprehension and written expression. The oral part of the exam will be administered by lecturers from the Institute for Multilingualism at the students' respective schools.

This initiative was organised as part of the Sponsored Classroom in English Language Teaching created by the Institute for Multilingualism and Richmond-Santillana.
