Our course book logic

English Vocabulary Profile shows which words and phrases learners around the world know at
each level - A1 to C2 - of the Common European Framework of Reference. Rather than
providing a syllabus of the vocabulary that learners should know, English Vocabulary Profile
verifies what they do know.
CEFR levels are assigned not just to the words themselves but also to each individual meaning
of these words. So for example, the word degree is assigned to level A2 for the meaning
'temperature', B1 for 'qualification', B2 for 'amount' and C2 for the phrase a/some degree of
(sth).
Our curriculum wordlists have been tagged with English Vocabulary Profile level descriptors, so
that you can check the level of each item of vocabulary, as you work through each Course book.
The words and expressions taught at each level of English Unlimited broadly match the CEFR
level for that Course book, although there will inevitably be items included in texts, listening
scripts and vocabulary sets which fall above or below that level.

LEVEL 1 - Master fundamental english speaking patterns such as Subject + Verb / Subject+
Verb + Object / Subject + Verb + Adjective etc.
Style: Games that uses scripts, fill in the blanks, and speaking patterns.
