Observing Curriculum policy
We have considered and designed an
educational learning and development
curriculum that will give all our students the
best possible chance of becoming successful
and happy individuals who are prepared for
the next steps of their educational journey.
Further, the aim of this curriculum planner is to
provide our teachers with a base or platform
from which they can better plan their lessons
and work more effectively.
In addition, different learners have different
objectives, have special learning needs and,
above all, have different learning habits or
styles. However, there are also several
different methods that we can try and apply
. The best way to teach English is a difficult
question as there is not just one best method
for all learners to learn from you hence,
teachers need to use different kinds of
methods and materials and use them in a way
that works on the basics before they get into
anything more advanced.
In fact, it is time of social media and
visual learning thus, using different tools
like social network, the internet,
magazines, comics, videos, movies, TV
shows, and news makes teaching and
learning more exciting, easy and effective.
Finally, At English Studio we have a zero
tolerance policy towards speaking other
language than English in the class.
Therefore, our teachers are requested not
to allow students to speak their mother
tongue while they are in the class. Teachers
can always use variety of methods such as
body language, flash cards, pictures of the
objects and/or videos to translate and
teach a vocabulary meaning for students.
Although, this looks hard and quite
challenging at first few days of the class
but soon students will get used to with it.
English Studio A2 Level English Curriculum
What can you do with a A2 level in
English?
An A2 level of English is sufficient for tourism
in an English-speaking country and socializing
with English speakers, although to develop
deeper friendships an A2 level is not adequate.
An A2 level of English also allows for
networking with English-speaking colleagues,
but working in English is limited to very familiar
topics at the A2 level. An A2 level of English is
not sufficient for academic study or for
consuming most English-language media (TV,
movies, radio, magazines, etc.).
According to the official CEFR guidelines,
someone at the A2 level in English:
1. Can understand sentences and
frequently used expressions related to
areas of most immediate relevance (e.g.
very basic personal and family
information, shopping, local geography,
employment).
2. Can communicate in simple and routine
tasks requiring a simple and direct
exchange of information on familiar and
routine matters.
3. Can describe in simple terms aspects of
his/her background, immediate
environment and matters in areas of
immediate need.
A2 level English skills in detail
The official can-do statements are broken
down into smaller pieces for teaching
purposes. This more detailed skill breakdown
can help you assess your own English level, or
help a teacher assess a student’s level.
For example, a student at the A2 level in
English will be able to do all the things that a
student in level A1 can do, and in addition he
will be able to:
