A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Choose the two neighbouring level pages most relevant to your learner rather than reading the whole guide during an interview.

  1. Collect a short spoken and written sample before consulting the descriptions in detail.
  2. Look for repeated evidence across skills, noting where a learner performs differently in comprehension and production.
  3. Use the next-step explanations to plan a second task when the first sample does not clearly distinguish adjacent levels.

Support and extension

This is a planning reference, not certification. At higher levels, gather several samples and seek another teacher's view when practical; grammar scores alone are insufficient.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
