Level B1 – B2
- Fee
- 4,500,000 VND

- Group class, 3–5 students
- Mock tests

Who it is for
Who this course is for
These four groups describe the people already on this course. If none of them quite fits you, that is fine — the consultation is there to say which course does.
Meeting a university exit requirement
Your institution asks for a specific level before graduation, and the deadline already has a date.
Applying for postgraduate study
A VSTEP level appears in the entry or thesis-defence conditions of many programmes.
Building a public-sector file
Language requirements follow the six-level framework, and VSTEP is the domestic paper that maps onto it.
Plateaued on your own
Reading and listening have improved, but writing and speaking will not move because nobody is marking them.
Outcomes
What you come away with
Not the syllabus listed a second time, but what is left once the course has finished.
All four skills move together
Every week gives time to all four sections, so no skill is left behind to drag the overall level down.
You know where your marks go
Writing and speaking are marked against the VSTEP criteria, with errors pinned to a specific criterion.
You finish both writing tasks in 60 minutes
The letter and the essay are practised under the real timing, so you no longer run out of time after Task 1.
You get through all three speaking parts
Including the solution discussion and topic development — the two places where a turn most often breaks down.
Syllabus
What you study
Everything the course covers, grouped. The order and the weight of each part are adjusted after each student's entry test.
Listening
- The three parts and their common question types
- Listening for information and following a long talk
- Marking listening work and grouping the errors that repeat
Reading
- Four passages: dividing the time and choosing the order
- A method for each question type
- Handling unknown words without breaking your reading rhythm
Writing
- Task 1 letters and email: choosing register to match the reader
- Task 2 essays: building an argument and developing it
- Marking against the VSTEP criteria
Speaking
- Part 1 — social interaction
- Part 2 — discussing solutions to a given situation
- Part 3 — developing a topic and handling follow-up questions
Vocabulary and strategy
- Vocabulary for the topics the paper returns to
- Turning words you can recognise into words you can write and say
- How to split revision time across the four skills
How we teach
The six steps behind every Wobridge course
These six steps apply to every course we run, on every programme. What changes from course to course is how much weight each step carries — noted directly under the list.
Entry assessment
A test across all four skills before placement, so we know where a student stands and what is missing.
Learning path
The target broken into stages with checkpoints, rather than a single number waiting at the end of the course.
Practice
Every lesson includes work done in class; theory never occupies a lesson on its own.
Feedback
Writing and speaking marked against the assessment criteria of the exam being prepared, with each fault attached to a named criterion.
Progress tracking
Results are recorded skill by skill through the course, so it is visible which part is moving and which is not.
Mock test
A paper sat in the real format and to the real timings, then talked through afterwards.
