Practice the speaking skills and abilities required by the A1 CEFR: more than 100 different practice exercises"

General Objectives

• Solve simple communicative tasks and perform basic communicative functions, both in an educational environment and in everyday situations
• Interact and express yourself in these situations in an elementary but adequate way, in a standard register of spoken language
• Define the most relevant social aspects of everyday life situations and recognize the most common forms of social relationships
• Use the linguistic resources necessary to get by in basic communication situations
• Develop resources and tools that enable them to assess and improve their own learning and use of the language

Specific Objectives

Oral Comprehension

• Understand speech that is slow, carefully articulated and with enough pauses to assimilate meaning
• Understand instructions that are explained slowly and carefully and able to follow directions if they are simple and brief 

In TECH's preparation course for the official CEFR A1 level test you will find more than 100 activities focused on developing your oral skills.

Oral Expression

• Participate in conversations in a simple way, taking into account that communication depends entirely on slower-paced repetitions, reformulations and rectifications
• Pose and answer simple questions and statements, respond to statements made in areas of immediate need or on very everyday topics
• Understand common expressions aimed at satisfying simple, everyday needs as long as the interlocutor collaborates by addressing them in clear and slow speech and repeats what they do not understand
• Understand questions and instructions addressed to them clearly and slowly, understanding simple and brief directions
• Introduce oneself and use basic greetings and farewell expressions. Ask how people are doing and express reactions to the news 
• Understand everyday expressions aimed at satisfying simple concrete needs provided that the speaker collaborates by addressing them in clear, slow speech and repeats what they do not understand
• Understand questions and instructions if spoken slowly and carefully, and understand short, simple directions on how to get to a place
• Ask someone for something, and vice versa. 
• Have a good command of numbers, quantities, prices and schedules
• Make time indications by means of sentences such as, for example, "next week, last Friday, in November, at three o'clock"
• Respond in an interview to simple and direct questions about personal data, if spoken very slowly and clearly without idioms or set phrases

Sociocultural and Sociolinguistic Competence 

• Become familiar with the most relevant social aspects of everyday life situations, as well as with those related to their own field, which will result in the basic adaptation of their behavior to these situations and in the understanding or adequate use of the lexicon and functional exponents
• Recognize and use the most common forms of social relations and treatment, within a standard register. In regular social situations, recognize and use the usual forms of address used to greet, say goodbye, address someone, give thanks, apologize, ask permission, take an interest in people and respond to an offer
• Understand the behaviors and values that are different from one's own and that underlie the most evident and everyday socio-cultural aspects

Linguistic Competence 

• Manage a basic repertoire of vocabulary and expressions related to the most common situations and functions foreseen in the syllabus
• Develop a very limited control of linguistic resources, with systematic errors that usually occur at this level

In order to consolidate all these skills you will have more than 40 sessions designed by expert teachers and based 100% on the CEFR"

Did you know?

Communicative competence is not merely limited to the knowledge and ability to use the linguistic code, but has other broader dimensions, which place it in direct relation with other competences such as information processing and digital competence, learning to learn, social and civic competence, or cultural and artistic competence.

This implies a cultural immersion that is only possible through direct and continuous interaction with native speakers and real conversational situations.
