The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is increasingly becoming the backbone of English language teaching courses.
The progression of linguistic ability is easily identifiable in the level bands:
A1 Breakthrough
A2 Waystage
B1 Threshold
B2 Vantage
C1 Effective Operational Proficiency
C2 Mastery
Each level is defined by a set of 'Can do' statements. For example, "I can develop an argument systematically, giving appropriate emphasis to significant points and presenting relevant supporting detail." (CEFR C1)
"CAN DO"
NHC E-Campus has produced six interactive classes from A1 level to C2 level ( American English) that tailor the language input to build up the "CAN DO" statements.
These can be clearly pinpointed on the main syllabus page and are not only a handy reference tool for the teacher but also give students an objective, a clear goal and ultimately a greater sense of achievement. |
