The objective of these curriculum guidelines is students to achieve B1 level in

which they can communicate effectively as independent users of English. It
proposes three main levels that are:

Level A1

This is accomplished when language learners are capable of understanding and

using everyday expressions that are used frequently to satisfy immediate needs.
At this level, for example, learners are able to introduce themselves and introduce

others and provide personal information about their home and belongings to

people that know them as long as the interlocutor speaks slowly and clearly.

Level A2

This is accomplished when language learners are capable of understanding
frequently used phrases in areas in which they are knowledgeable, such as basic

information about themselves and their family, shopping, and places of interest.
At this level, they are also able to communicate in order to execute simple tasks

and routine activities that do not require much verbal interaction and in which the

information is related to habitual activities. These individuals are also able to
express ideas in simple terms related to their past activities, surroundings, and

immediate needs.

Level B1

This is accomplished when the language learners are capable of understanding

the main points of readings written in clear, familiar, standard language. These
readings can be related to work, personal life, and leisure activities. Additionally

at this level, learners are able to communicate effectively, while traveling in
countries that use the target language, write simple, coherent essays about

familiar topics, personal interest, experiences, events, and desires, and justify

their opinions (i.e.by giving simple, brief reasons) and explain their future plans.
