English as a Second Language Curriculum
In the year 2013 new “English as a Second Language Curriculum” has been introduced to complement the existing curriculum framework of Cambridge First language English 
Both Cambridge Primary and Cambridge Secondary 1 include progression tests and externally marked assessment options (Cambridge Checkpoint and new Cambridge Primary Checkpoint) to help teachers monitor learner’s progress and direct teaching where it’s needed most. By identifying learner’s strengths and weaknesses – individually and as a group – teachers can tailor their programmes and prepare learners for successful progression to the next stage of their education. It is also very helpful for parents to receive detailed information about their child’s progress.
At the end of the Cambridge Secondary 2 and Cambridge Advanced stages, learners can obtain globally recognised qualifications like Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge O Level and Cambridge International AS and A Levels. These qualifications are internationally benchmarked and accepted by employers and universities around the world as evidence of academic achievement. They develop key skills in creative thinking, enquiry and problem solving, and foster a global outlook.

Cambridge face2face

cambridge english scale full range

Based on the communicative approach, face2face prepares learners for life in English. Vocabulary and grammar are of equal importance and there is a strong focus on listening and speaking for social situations. Students are given numerous opportunities to practise new language through a variety of communicative activities.

face2face is fully compatible with the CEF and gives students regular opportunities to evaluate their progress. Mapping is available online, as well as in the relevant Teacher’s Book.Each self-contained lesson is easily teachable off the page.

Each level provides approximately 80 hours of core teaching material, which can be extended to 120 hours using the photocopiable resource material and extra ideas in the Teacher’s Book (60 hours extendable to 90 for the Starter level).

Face2face is informed by the Cambridge English Corpus and its vocabulary syllabus is mapped to the English Vocabulary Profile, meaning students learn the language they really need at each CEFR level.

The Student’s Books come with a free CD-ROM/Audio CD offering extra practice activities, video, recording capability, customisable tests and more.

Key features

  • With vocabulary selection informed by the Cambridge International Corpus and the Cambridge Learner Corpus, students can be confident that the language they learn is up-to-date, relevant and natural.
  • A ‘Language Summary’ at the back of each Student’s Book offers students support with new vocabulary, grammar and functional language.
  • New face2face Classware offers an updated form of Whiteboard Software now even more user-friendly and accessible to teachers without access to whiteboard hardware.
  • Features a systematic focus on spoken accuracy, as well as fluency, which gives students lots of opportunities to practise new language in both free and controlled contexts.
  • ‘Real World’ lessons give students the practical language they need for day-to-day life. At Advanced level, these lessons also develop students’ listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, helping them become more spontaneous, natural communicators.
  • Innovative ‘Help with’ sections help learners to appreciate how English works. ‘Help with Sounds’, new at Starter level, enables students to improve their pronunciation by focusing on individual sounds.

The Common European Framework (CEF) 

(CEF) Since the early 1970s, a series of Council of Europe initiatives has developed a description of the language knowledge and skills that people need to live, work and survive in any European country. Waystage 19901 , Threshold 19902 and Vantage3 detail the knowledge and skills required at different levels of ability. In 2001, the contents of these documents were further developed into sets of ‘can do’ statements or ‘competences’ and officially launched as the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, teaching, assessment (CEF)4 . A related document, The European Language Portfolio, encourages learners to assess their progress by matching their competence against the ‘can do’ statements.

The face2face series has been developed to include comprehensive coverage of the requirements of the CEF. The table shows how face2face relates to the CEF and the examinations which can be taken at each level through University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL), which is a member of ALTE (The Association of Language Testers in Europe). In the spirit of The European Language Portfolio developed from the CEF, face2face provides a Progress Portfolio at the end of every Student’s Book unit. Students are encouraged to assess their ability to use the language they have learned so far, and to review any aspects by using the CD-ROM/Audio CD.

In the Workbook there is a Reading and Writing Portfolio section linked to the CEF and a comprehensive list of ‘can do’ statements in the Reading and Writing Progress Portfolio, which allows students to track their own progress. What are the maps? For each of the six levels of face2face there are two CEF maps: one which lists the CEF competences for Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing for that particular level; and one which shows how the units/lessons of face2face fulfil the CEF competences.
