B1 Preliminary

A step towards greater independence in English

B1 Preliminary helps students use English with greater confidence in everyday situations and communicate better.

At B1 level, learners develop their Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking skills through more detailed texts, conversations and everyday communication tasks.

On Teaching Together, you’ll find practical ideas for the different B1 Preliminary exam tasks, helping learners understand what each part requires and how to approach it effectively.

You’ll also find classroom and self-study activities designed to strengthen language skills, build confidence and support progress towards B2 First.
