DESCRIPTION OF A1 LEVEL ACCORDING TO CEFRL
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages describes the A1 level user as being able to accomplish the following communicative tasks.
|UNDERSTANDING||Listening||I can recognise familiar words and very basic phrases concerning myself, my family and immediate concrete surroundings when people speak slowly and clearly.|
|Reading||I can understand familiar names, words and very simple sentences, for example on notices and posters or in catalogues.|
|SPEAKING||Spoken interaction||I can interact in a simple way provided the other person is prepared to repeat or rephrase things at a slower rate of speech and help me formulate what I’m trying to say. I can ask and answer simple questions in areas of immediate need or on very familiar topics.|
|Spoken production||I can use simple phrases and sentences to describe where I live and people I know.|
|WRITING||Writing||I can write a short, simple postcard, for example sending holiday greetings. I can fill in forms with personal details, for example entering my name, nationality and address on a hotel registration form.|
