Level 2 (A2 – Elementary)

Introduction

Level 2 builds on the foundation of Level 1 and helps learners develop greater confidence in using English for everyday communication. At this stage, students move beyond simple phrases and start forming longer sentences, engaging in short conversations, and understanding more detailed information in familiar contexts.

The focus of this level is on expanding vocabulary, improving grammar accuracy, and practicing practical communication skills needed in daily life, travel, and social interactions.

Key Features of Level 2:

• Development of functional communication in everyday situations.
• Expansion of vocabulary (around 1,000–1,500 words).
• Focus on core grammar structures, including:
• Present Continuous (I am eating, she is working)
• Past Simple (I visited, they played)
• Future forms (going to, will)
• Comparatives and superlatives (bigger, the best)
• Countable/uncountable nouns & quantifiers (some, many, much).
• Increased emphasis on listening and speaking through role-plays and dialogues.
• Practice with short reading passages and guided writing tasks.
