In comparison with CEFR, this booklet helps teachers and students determine what you need to teach and learn in Life B1+.
In this booklet, each exercise of the Life series is mapped against core descriptors at the relevant global level. So, the first six units of Life Intermediate are mapped against descriptors at the B1 Threshold level, the last six units are mapped against descriptors at the B2 Vantage level, and Life Upper-intermediate is mapped throughout against descriptors at the B2 Vantage level.
Life's grammar and vocabulary syllabus encourages the linguistic competences needed for students to be able to communicate successfully. In particular, the Grammar and Word focus sections provide information and practice necessary for students to build their understanding and use. The emphasis on the four skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening in Life reflects the same emphasis in the CEFR. The Critical thinking sections develop students' reading skills. The Real Life section in each unit of LIFE introduces and practises key functional areas of language which mirror those in the CEFR.
