One-semester course (winter semester) for complete beginners
Students will become familiar with basic grammar structures and learn to communicate in basic situations, e.g. write a postcard, check in at a hotel, etc. The grammar covered in this course coincides with the grammar included in textbooks of the same level that follow the CERR framework (www.examenglish.com/CEFR/cefr_grammar.htm).
What does it mean to reach the A1 proficiency level according to the CEFR framework?
A basic ability to communicate and exchange information in a simple way.
Examples:
Can ask simple questions about a menu and understand simple answers.
Can follow speech that is very slow and carefully articulated, with long pauses for him/her to assimilate meaning.
Can recognise familiar names, words and very basic phrases on simple notices in the most common everyday situations.
