In the Courses & Units section, you can choose from a variety of subjects for you to learn the English you need for your job, university, or career aspirations.
Some courses might not be available to the beginner or high beginner students, due to the difficulty of a particular topic. You are also able to find what you want easily, by using the search field, filtering content by status, type, and level.
Status
Assigned: Courses assigned to your profile, according to your level or interests. This may also include courses that have been assigned to you by your organization.
Currently Enrolled: courses or units where you have previously clicked "enroll" on the course/unit page.
Not enrolled: opposite of enrolled.
Completed: courses or units you have completed already.
Level
You can select levels, and results will display only content that can be accessed with those levels.
Type
Courses: Courses are designed to prepare you for specific objectives like reaching your next proficiency level or succeeding in a particular career in English. They usually have several units covering a related topic.
Course Units: Course Units are made up of lessons that are carefully chosen and sequenced to help you achieve specific objectives. They are the building blocks of a Course, and you have to enroll in the Course it belongs to before starting them.
Dynamic Units: Dynamic Units are generated for you based on the topic of the unit, your level, and the most recently published lessons. You can repeat this unit as many times as you like with newly published lessons!
If you are a beginner and want to start from scratch, you can do so by subscribing to the Beginner Literacy English or Beginner English. Both of them will give a solid base to take off your English.
Smart Courses
A Smart Course provides structured goals to ensure you are moving along a proven pedagogical path to proficiency.
Structured Pathways: You enroll in a specific course tailored to your needs and current level.
Modular "Smart Lessons": Each course is made up of a sequence of Smart Lessons that use real-world, highly relevant content (articles, videos, and audio).
Next-Gen Practice: Inside these lessons, you won't just click multiple-choice buttons. You will engage with our newest AI activities, including AI Chat (written) and AI Voice Chat (speaking), helping you actively produce language, not just consume it.
Smart Lessons
A continuous, personalized feed of standalone lessons based on the learner's interests (e.g., daily news). Great for quick, 15-minute daily practice.
The Catalog page also shows recommended lessons for you. Here it is a FAQ about it:
Why am I seeing these specific lessons recommended to me?
These lessons are being recommended based on your user profile, which was created upon first onboarding. Your profile can be edited on the web app, by clicking on your initials on the navbar > Profile and selecting the areas which you want to update.
What's the difference between what's being recommended on the Learner Home and in the Catalog?
They are exactly the same. The only difference is that the Learner Home is a simpler, quick shortcut to do lessons that match your goals & interests.
What happened to the lesson I dismissed (clicked on X)?
They were removed from your recommendation stream area, both in the Learner Home and in the Catalog page. But don't worry, you can still find them in the Lessons tab in the Catalog page.
Are these lessons different from what I see on the Lesson's page?
No, they are exactly the same. The difference is that we recommend these lessons based on your user profile, which was created during onboarding.
You can also select a course that better fits your professional interests as well as your career aspirations. We are continually publishing new courses to cover all industries and subjects, giving you more relevant content to study.
