A2+ Language Level Tracker(Can do tracker)
Organization: Sarah
Course Description
A language level tracker based on CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) "Can Do" statements is an effective tool to monitor and assess language proficiency. The CEFR framework defines six levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2), describing abilities in listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Students can use these "Can Do" statements to evaluate their skills and track progress. Learners must check and submit each statement only if they are confident they can perform the task described. Honesty is crucial when self-assessing, as overestimating abilities can hinder learning and result in misplaced levels. Once students have achieved 80% of the "Can Do" statements for a level, they can request a formal level test by email. This tracker encourages accountability, fosters motivation, and ensures a structured learning process, aligning progress with global language standards and enabling clear, measurable language development.
Course Overview
The assessment of language proficiency described here is based on the "Can-Do Statements" of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This is an excellent method for tracking the progress of language proficiency. There are six levels of language proficiency: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. Within these levels, the proficiency in four skills—listening, reading, writing, and speaking—is assessed. Students can use these "Can-Do Statements" to track the progress of their language proficiency. Students should only mark a specific level if they are confident they can successfully perform the functions or tasks described in the "Can-Do Statements" for that level. It is very important to be honest when estimating one's language proficiency. This is because overestimating one's abilities can negatively impact learning and result in an inaccurate level assessment. When students have achieved 80% of the "Can-Do Statements" within a certain level, they may contact the relevant party via email to take the final test or proficiency exam. This framework guides students in taking responsibility, increasing their motivation, and learning in a planned manner. Furthermore, it helps develop and assess language proficiency in a way that aligns with global language standards. Which web browser can I use to view them?
