Contents Description
Using the Keynote Elementary Student's Book, students work on their language skills. At the end of course 2, the A1+ A2 course has been
completed.

At the end of language route 2, the student will be able to...

 understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to matters of immediate interest (e.g. personal data, family,
shopping, local geography, employment);
 communicate in simple and everyday tasks that require a simple and direct exchange on familiar and everyday issues.
 Describe in simple terms aspects of own background, immediate environment and issues related to various needs.
Working method Students work on different skills (writing, reading, listening, speaking, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation) simultaneously. The
students prepare the chapters prior to the lesson; in the lesson new tasks are performed and completed following the preparation.

 passed the intermediate chapter tests;
