The second level of the three Cambridge English: Young Learners (YLE) tests for children.

This is the second level of the three Cambridge English: Young Learners (YLE) tests for children, A1 level. In this level, students will study realistic and familiar topics to

• understand basic instructions or take part in simple conversations
• understand basic notices, instructions or information
• complete basic forms and write notes, including times, dates and places.

This course introduces children to everyday written and spoken English and is an excellent way for them to gain confidence and improve their English.

Format

The course is designed to prepare the students for the Cambridge test format for the listening, reading and writing papers. These activities teach different English skills that are divided into parts. Once the students have completed all the parts, they move on to the next stage.

• Stage One: Introduction
• Stage Two: Repetition
• Stage Three: Reinforcement

Each activity must be completed for the student to move on to the next unit. Nearly all responses are graded automatically and for students enrolled in courses with a teacher – they will be able to discuss any questions you have about the answers. At the end of the course, students will receive a certificate to mark their achievement for completing this online Cambridge English course.

What will the student learn?

Listening: to understand when somebody talks about their family or friends in simple sentences, and to understand instructions given by the teacher in the classroom, such as ‘You must do this’, or ‘Take off your coats’.

Reading and Writing: to understand and write simple sentences, stories and shorter texts with the help of pictures and drawings, to write about what they like doing in their free time, to understand signs and notices, and to continue a story that has been started or add words that are missing.
