Understanding Pre-A1 and A1 level Communicative Competencies

Review words here!

Let’s play kahoot!

Sociolinguistic (A1)

Can establish basic social contact by using the simplest everyday polite forms of: greetings and farewells; introductions; saying please, thank you, sorry etc.

Propositional Precision
  • Can communicate very basic information about personal details in a simple way. (Pre-A1)
  • Can communicate basic information about personal details and needs of a concrete type in a simple way. (A1)
Spoken Fluency
  • Can manage very short, isolated, rehearsed utterances using gesture and signalled requests for help when necessary. (Pre-A1)
  • Can manage very short, isolated, mainly pre-packaged utterances, with much pausing to search for expressions, to articulate less familiar words, and to repair communication. (A1)

Vocabulary (A1)
  • Has a basic vocabulary repertoire of words and phrases related to particular concrete situations. (A1)

Examples (Self Assessment)

Phonological Control (A1)
  • Pronunciation of a very limited repertoire of learnt words and phrases can be understood with some effort by interlocutors used to dealing with speakers of the language group concerned. Can reproduce correctly a limited range of sounds as well as the stress on simple, familiar words and phrases. (A1)

Sound Articulation (A1)

  • Can reproduce sounds in the target language if carefully guided. (A1)

Prosodic Features (A1)

  • Can use the prosodic features of a limited repertoire of simple words and phrases intelligibly, in spite of a very strong influence on stress, rhythm, and/or intonation from other language(s) he/she speaks; his/her interlocutor needs to be collaborative.

Orthographic Control

  • Can copy familiar words and short phrases e.g. simple signs or instructions, names of everyday objects, names of shops and set phrases used regularly. (A1)

  • I can copy simple words and short sentences.
  • I can copy words and short sentences.
  • I can copy words from the board.
  • I can copy words for colours and shapes from the board.
  • I can copy words about transport from the board.
  • I can copy sentences about seasons and festivals from the board.

Teach the following role plays to another group. After that, have a discussion.

To teach the following role plays do the following procedure:

1) Act out the dialogue. Have the other group members write in the words.

2) Discuss what the key structures are (e.g. I’m from …..) and the communicative situation (exchanging information about where one is from).

3) Have your students make their own role plays and act them out without looking. To do a role play, students have to pretend to be someone else.

4) Discuss the CEFR level (A1 – C2) and communicative competencies this is targeting. To do this, use the CEFR Scale Descriptions. Write your group answer as a comment.

A. Where are you from?

B. What’s your favorite TV show?

C. Where were you yesterday?

D. Where will you go?

E. Where did you buy it?

F. What time do you usually start?

G. Where do you live?

H. Where were you?

I. Have you seen a movie lately?

We think the dialogue is A2 because we can use basic sentence patterns with memorized phrases, groups of a few words and formulae in order to communicate limited information in simple everyday situations.

I think that we are in B1 level. We can keep going comprehensively but we can’t speak fairly even tempo. So we feel we are in B1.
