This level aims to make the children improve fluency, comprehension, and confidence, show awareness of basic cultural norms, and participate in role-plays or dialogues that simulate real-life situations (e.g. ordering food, asking for directions).
Children engage in longer conversations on familiar topics (school, hobbies, family, etc.) and ask and answer questions using correct question forms. They express likes/dislikes and give reasons and simple explanations. They use a range of vocabulary and structured expressions. They also begin using more varied sentence structures (e.g., conditionals, comparatives).
Children understand the main ideas and key details in short stories, dialogues, or instructions. They follow classroom instructions with little repetition. They understand common phrasal verbs and idioms used in context.
Children read and understand short and long stories, informational texts, and simple articles. They identify the main idea and supporting details, use context clues to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words, and answer comprehension questions that require inference.
Children write structured paragraphs with a clearer introduction, use linking words (e.g., however, because, although) to connect ideas. They write informal letters, short essays, or journal entries, and use punctuation and capitalization more accurately. They also self-edit for common grammar and spelling mistakes.
Children use past, present, and future tenses with more consistency, form and use comparatives, superlatives, indefinite pronouns modals (can, should, must), and conditionals. They understand and use a broader range of vocabulary related to familiar and academic topics. They start using passive voice, reported speech, and relative clauses at a basic level.
Overall, learners are expected to communicate more independently in familiar situations and express opinions, preferences, and feelings using appropriate vocabulary. They understand and produce connected speech and paragraphs in spoken and written forms and begin using more complex grammatical structures.
