Note on CEF references: The numbers above refer to an approved list of descriptors prepared for secondary schools in Switzerland. The appearance
of a reference in the table above, indicate that Activate! A2 contains an exercise which will contribute to the development of this communicative skill.
It does not indicate that this skill has been achieved by the learner, but that the exercise will help learners move towards achievement of that skill.
You will notice references to some skills listed as A1 and to some listed as B1: the A1 references are consolidation, the B1 references are the
introduction of communicative skills at B1 level.
Activate! A2 is very good in training learning skills and also unusual in training students to express and give reasons for their opinions. The training in
giving an oral summary of information and opinions from reading texts is a valuable addition to the skills which are normally taught at A2 level.
