About this course
This course has been developed by the instructors from the Center of Educational Technology. This course follows closely the Oxford University Press series Navigate; however, it can also be used as a stand-alone online course. Our topics and Vocabulary/Grammar are the same but the course materials are not just duplicating those in the textbook.
If you do decide to work through the textbook and workbook of this series, then you can use this online course as a supplement. Our course is one of the series. Each level in the series is color-coded for your convenience when you browse the Courses at edx.ektu.kz. This course is at Level B1 (Pre-Intermediate).
