Pre A1 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
To provide learners with a clear, structured, and accountable system for measuring, developing, and formally assessing their language skills (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking) according to the globally recognized Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
