English for Beginners: Inclusive, Holistic EFL learning

English for Adults (false) beginners ( Level A1 & A2): Inclusive, Holistic EFL learning.

This two week intensive course is designed to cover the needs of adults (false) beginners in English Language
up to levels A1 & A2 as they are cited in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages CEFR.

The curriculum is planned to comply with the needs of the “basic user” as they are described in the Global
scale – Table 1 (CEFR 3.3): Common Reference levels. In addition, the everyday learning by doing activities

long autonomous learning skills.

By the end of this course adult learners will have developed the basic linguistic competence to attend
Erasmus courses of their choice in English as well as sufficient sociolinguistic competence which will help
them to feel confident to communicate and satisfy everyday needs, while being in Heraklion or elsewhere.
