So, what does a person at beginner / elementary level look like?
Let’s start with the Beginner.
Looking at beginner / elementary, we shall look at beginner first, which is Level 1. Level A1 relates to primary users of the language. Those able to express themselves in everyday situations with commonly-used expressions and elementary vocabulary.
Level A1 Skills
One of the questions you might ask yourself when you read this information is. What language competences characterise a person who can prove they have a level A1 in English? The CEFRL specifies the following:
- They can understand and use very frequently-used everyday expressions and simple phrases to meet immediate needs.
- He or she can introduce themselves and others and can ask and answer questions. Such as personal details of where they live, things they have and people they know.
- Provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to cooperate, they can interact.
Now with the Elementary.
Level A2 corresponds to primary users of the language. Those who are able to communicate in everyday situations with common expressions and essential vocabulary.
Level A2 Skills
One of the questions you might ask yourself when you read this information is. What language competencies characterise a person who can prove they have a level A2 in English? The CEFRL specifies the following:
- They can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to the areas of experience most immediately relevant to themselves. For example, essential personal and family details, shopping, places of interest, work, etc.).
- They can communicate in simple, everyday tasks. That requires no more than a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters.
- The person can describe aspects of their past, environment, and matters related to their immediate needs in simple terms.
