Plans and Comparisons: guided A2 practice

The real-world purpose of this module

Plans and Comparisons starts with language a learner can use in school, at home or with friends. The first lesson builds this result: I can talk about my plans. The checkpoint then combines the module in a short quiz and a private speaking or writing task. You may whisper, write first or use the phone recorder. A slow first attempt still counts.

Level: A2. This module contains 6 connected lessons. Follow the order when the topic is new, or use the lesson map to repair one specific gap.

The lesson map

What useful practice looks like

• Going To: Plans: I can talk about my plans.
• Bigger, Better: Comparatives: I can compare two things.
• The Biggest: Superlatives: I can say which one is the most.

Use true information where possible. A sentence about your own routine, work or plans is easier to remember than a sentence copied from a model.

How to know you are ready to continue

Do not judge readiness by reading speed. You are ready when you can complete the checkpoint task with a clear message, understandable language and no copied answer. A small number of errors is normal at A2; errors should not hide your meaning.

If the checkpoint is difficult, repeat the lesson whose outcome matches the problem. That is faster than restarting the whole module.
