This document outlines language learning objectives and content for A1 and A2 levels, focusing on practical functions and grammatical structures. It details understanding and using numbers, prices, and time, along with the application of discourse markers like 'and,' 'but,' and 'because' to connect ideas. Key verb forms such as 'to be' (including questions and negatives) and 'have got' (specifically British English) are presented with examples. The section on Listening A1 emphasizes the ability to follow very slow and carefully articulated speech with pauses for comprehension. Self-assessment scales provide learners with benchmarks to gauge their understanding of descriptions for rooms and objects, following short stories with repetition, comprehending deliberate speech, and recognizing simple songs and rhymes learned in an educational context. The content is designed to support young learners aged 7-15 years, with specific notations for British English usage and the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) levels.
