Beginning English – Level 2 (Kids)

Overview

Level 2 (Kids) builds on Level 1 to help learners move into CEFR A2. Lessons emphasize daily life, routines, past experiences, future plans, preferences, and real-life conversations. By the end of this level, learners demonstrate readiness for Intermediate English.

Module 01: Getting Ready to Speak More English

This module gives learners the tools to start building real conversations in English. Students learn to ask and answer questions clearly, give reasons for their ideas, and speak in full sentences. They practice pronunciation, build confidence, and explore topics like daily life, feelings, and future plans at an introductory level.

• Describe daily routines and future plans using clear sentence models.
• Use “because” to give short, spoken explanations.
• Participate in short, guided conversations using polite and practical expressions.
• Build pronunciation awareness and confidence by practicing key English sound contrasts, including voiced and unvoiced pairs, final consonants, and common vowel patterns.

Module 02: Daily Life and Routines

This module helps learners talk confidently about everyday life using clear, full-sentence patterns. Students learn to describe routines, talk about time and frequency, and ask simple questions about what people do. They build fluency with the present simple tense and practice using time expressions and polite follow-up questions in natural conversation.
