Making a fresh start

Hi there! A new school year is about to start at the Official School of Languages in  Torrevieja. And a new level too. This year we are having level  C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages for the very first time.

"The Common European Framework divides learners into three broad divisions that can be divided into six levels:

A Basic User 

A1 Breakthrough or beginner

A2 Waystage or elementary

B Independent User 

B1 Threshold or intermediate

B2 Vantage or upper intermediate

C Proficient User 

C1 Effective Operational Proficiency or advanced

C2 Mastery or proficiency

The CEFR describes what a learner is supposed to be able to do in reading, listening, speaking and writing at each level." (from Wikipedia) 

Orden EDU/3377/2009, de 7 de diciembre, por la que se establecen los currículos y las pruebas correspondientes a los cursos especializados para el perfeccionamiento de competencias en idiomas de niveles C1 y C2 del Consejo de Europa impartidos en las Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas de Ceuta y de Melilla:

Let's hope that everybody in the group finishes the year being capable of doing everything the Framework establishes for C1 and let's hope they enjoy the lessons and find them useful.
