Communication actions – B2–C1 – 001
This B2-C1 deck is the first advanced part of the Communication actions series: 35 verbs for following and holding your own in nuanced academic or legal-style debates in English. You'll learn how to assert a claim, refute an argument, or concede when you lose a debate ('assert,' 'refute,' 'concede'). It covers formal communication ('authorise,' 'certify,' 'prohibit') as well as finer tools of argument ('contradict,' 'exaggerate,' 'generalise'). This part is for learners who don't just understand English debates - they can analyse and take part in them.
