1 OUTOMES ELEMENTRY and the ommon European Framework of Reference 2 David. Hill
2 Introduction What is the ommon European Framework of Reference? The ouncil of Europe has developed the ommon European Framework of Reference for Languages (or EFR for short) with a view to promoting language teaching and learning within Europe, and to provide a framework which permits the comparison of individuals language levels in an impartial way. What are the aims of the EFR? While the EFR does not dictate a single method of teaching and learning, it encourages teachers and course providers to reconsider their course content, approach and assessment based on some core principles. These are stated at the beginning of the book: 1. To ensure that all sections of their populations have access to effective means of acquiring a knowledge of the languages of other member states [...] as well as the skills in the use of those languages that will enable them to satisfy their communicative needs [...] 1.1 to deal with the business of everyday life in another country, and to help foreigners staying in their own country to do so; 1.2 to exchange information and ideas with young people and adults who speak a different language and to communicate their thoughts and feelings to them; 1.3 to achieve a wider and deeper understanding of the way of life and forms of thought of other peoples and of their cultural heritage. 2. To promote, encourage and support the efforts of teachers and learners at all levels to apply in their own situation the principles of the construction of language-learning systems [...] 2.1 by basing language teaching and learning on the needs, motivations, characteristics and resources of learners; 2.2 by defining worthwhile and realistic objectives as explicitly as possible; 2.3 by developing appropriate methods and materials. Working from these principles the EFR encourages us to think about the domains in which we use language social, public, occupational and educational. It then suggests we consider specific situations within these domains: the people we might need to interact with, the objects we may use, the things we may read or listen to and the things we may need to do with language. It then tries to describe not only what a language user can do, but also what they are able to do in the language, both generally and in specific skills, domains and situations such as or Formal discussion and meetings. The EFR also encourages and comments on areas such as intercultural awareness, self-directed learning, paralinguistics (gesture, mime, etc.), mediating (i.e. interpreting and translation), which have perhaps been less common features of ELT materials. How are the levels of the EFR organised? The six levels the EFR describes range from 1 (students with an elementary level of English) to 2 (students who can use the language fluently and with precision). However, note that there is also a level below 1. 0 is the point at which people start, with very little or no language. 1 is the first point at which we can describe a (limited) range of abilities in a number of skills and domains. For example, students probably need to be able to recognize a substantial number of words (say 300+) for basic reading and listening. The EFR also allows for steps between the global levels, described as 2+, 2+, etc. The main levels are summarised below: Proficient Independent asic Mastery Effective Operational Proficiency Vantage Threshold Waystage reakthrough Students can use the language precisely and fluently with near native competence. Students are proficient in the language and have a wide range of vocabulary. Students are able to express themselves in increasingly abstract ways. Students at this level can maintain conversations. Students are able to get by in an increasing range of social situations. Students can express themselves in simple, basic language. ased on these global descriptions of the six levels, the EFR illustrates how these can be applied to a language user s ability in the specific domains and skills we mentioned before. For example, for, 1 level is described as an ask how people are and react to news and 2 as an use language flexibly and effectively for social purposes. This means language users are able to describe their abilities more accurately, showing a higher level in social situations than, say, academic writing and discussions. EFR levels, coursebooks and Outcomes It is important to realize that the EFR is not a syllabus and does not provide scales for every possible language situations for students. For example, a student s needs and motivation may lead them to the task of talking about football (not exemplified in the EFR!). However, we can construct a scale based on the global and specific scales in the EFR and say that an 1 student can exchange basic opinions on matches, players and teams, but a 2 student can describe matches and incidents in detail, using a range of language including colloquial expressions and jargon. s a teacher or materials writer we can then think of the language students will need to achieve these levels and how we might present and practise it. Furthermore, the can-do statements describe achievement and current ability, not the student s future level, the language required to reach that level, or the time it will take. No coursebook can guarantee a level a student will attain and it is for you to judge whether the language presented will help students achieve their objectives. Finally, existing coursebook level descriptors in ELT (elementary, pre-intermediate, etc.) do not exactly fit with the EFR and nor are the EFR levels necessarily even steps. It seems likely that moving from 1 to 2, for example, will take a lot longer than 1 to 2, largely because of the different amounts of vocabulary learning each entails. For all these reasons, this book has been developed for students who are at one level, and who are working towards the next level. This means that some tasks and language input particularly at the beginning of the book are aimed more at revising and teaching language to achieve the lower level, while most other input is aimed at achieving the higher level. Note though, that in any one class, students will achieve different levels in any one task, including being below or above the level expected. If this 2 Outcomes Elementary National Geographic Learning
3 happens consistently, you are probably using the wrong level book or the student is in the wrong class for them. That is for you to assess. How does Outcomes match the aims of the EFR? Outcomes was written very much with the EFR in mind. We think about what we want students to be able to do and the kind of conversation they ll have first; we write some models, we notice the specific language they may need (grammar, words or phrases) and we try to present that language in exercises to help them achieve these goals. When we teach grammar or vocabulary, we try to think of clear examples that might be used in particular situations. We also looked at a lot of the can-do statements and specific situations that the testing organisation, LTE, describe. We tried to include as many of these as possible. We have also tried to include a range of social, public, occupational and educational contexts, in terms of all four skills, even at low levels. We have helped students and teachers see these clear objectives at the beginning of each unit, so that students understand what they should be able to do based on the input and specific language areas. You can also see this in the mapping to the EFR here. We help students self-directed learning with the Vocabulary uilder, the Grammar reference with exercises and the online workbook which comes with all the student s books. We also help mediation skills through translation exercises such as the Language Patterns box. We encourage intercultural awareness and the exchange of thoughts and ideas through many short speaking tasks, texts about different countries and contexts, and hearing speakers of different nationalities. The EFR and you! It is not only coursebook writers that take the EFR into account. s a teacher, you can also meet EFR goals by taking language in the book and giving more examples that make use of the students immediate knowledge and situation. This can be done by asking questions that encourage students to think about how they would use language, encouraging students to exchange ideas and feelings and by creating a learning environment that makes this possible. You might also want to read the EFR itself and use the Users of the manual may wish to consider sections it has throughout for discussions with colleagues or self-reflection.
