Communicative competence is not merely limited to the knowledge and ability to use the linguistic code, but has other broader dimensions, which place it in direct relation with other competences such as information processing and digital competence, learning to learn, social and civic competence, or cultural and artistic competence. 

This implies a cultural immersion that is only possible to recreate in the online format through simulated scenarios, storytelling, videos and real situations.

Only TECH offers their students videos with the 250 specific situations required to master the CEFR B1.
