2 Part 1 The Level of Messages 1 This level of Messages takes students from level A1 and into level A2 of the CEFR. The table below describes the general degree of skill achieved by learners at this level. Skill Listening Reading Speaking Learners will be able to: recognise familiar/high frequency words and phrases related to areas of the most immediate personal relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment), when people speak slowly and clearly. read short simple texts, including short, simple personal letters and s. communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar topics and activities; ask and answer simple questions in areas of immediate need or on very familiar topics; Writing Communicative language competence use a series of phrases and sentences to describe in simple terms their family and other people, where they live and people they know. write short simple postcards, letters or s; write a series of simple phrases and sentences about familiar matters. use basic sentence patterns and phrases, groups of a few words and formulae in order to communicate limited information in everyday situations; use some simple grammatical structures correctly; pronounce learned words and phrases in a way that can be understood by many expert speakers; Communication strategies establish basic social contact by using simple every day polite language. initiate, maintain and close simple conversations, able to ask for clarification or repetition 2

3 Part 2 How the goals of the CEFR are realised in Messages 1 Listening At A1, learners are expected to be able to understand speech that is very simple. As they progress to A2 they can understand more complex speech as long as it is clearly articulated and concerns predictable everyday matters. OVERALL LISTENING COMPREHENSION Can follow speech that is very slow and carefully articulated, with long pauses to assimilate meaning. Can understand phrases and expressions related to very familiar topics, e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment. 3 p7 2 p14 6 p31 1 p36 2 p50 1 p58 1 p74 5 p83 1 p96 5 p105 2 p116 1 p126 3 p9 1 p16 1 p38 1 p52 4 p p97 5 p117 7 p127 6 p11 5 p17 3 p39 6 p53 3 p62 2 p118 2 p128 5 p19 4 p40 1 p54 1 p120 Can generally identify the topic of discussion around them that is conducted slowly and clearly. 2 p28 1 p52 3 p61 4 p75 1 p84 2 p95 1 p104 1 p124 1 p30 2 p98 LISTENING TO MEDIA & RECORDINGS Can identify the main point of TV news items reporting events, accidents etc. where the visual supports the commentary. 1 p94 3
