Outcomes: Elementary: Grammar Worksheets: Answer Key

The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR)

states that language learning and teaching overall goals

should be:

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.

(Council of Europe, 2001, Common European Framework

of Reference for Languages, p3)

These ideas underpin everything we do in the Outcomes

series. At Elementary, we look at some can-do statements

at A2 as a guide to what students might want to achieve.

On the opening double-page of each unit you will

see a list of outcomes. The vocabulary, grammar and

skills practice that is provided in each unit aims to help

students to do these things better.
