Two-semester course for students at the A0 English proficiency level
Students improve their understanding of basic vocabulary, read short texts, timetables, menus, etc. They also work on improving communication in everyday situations and write personal messages and notes. 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).
