Continuing your language learning?

Do you know your place on the Languages Ladder?
If you already hold any Languages Ladder certicates, make sure your new tutor knows which skills you have passed at which
levels.
Which level is best for me?
First Steps/Absolute Beginners/All Day:
For learners who have not learned any of the language before
Next Steps
For learners who have completed a First Steps/one day Absolute Beginners course or equivalent in the recent past
Improvers
For learners who have completed 40-60 hours in the recent past
Intermediate

GCSE

Measure your progress on the Languages Ladder

How do you climb the Languages Ladder?
1 What is the Languages Ladder?
The Languages Ladder is a scheme which rewards your language learning achievements and helps you chart your progress.
2 How does it work?
The Languages Ladder gives you the opportunity to focus on the language skills you need - listening, speaking, reading and
writing - and helps you to identify more easily which class you should join. You can start at Grade 1 in any skill and work your
way up!
3 Do I have to do the assessment?
No, it is entirely optional, although most learners decide they would like to have their progress recognised. Feedback from
learners indicates that the step-by-step approach helps them build condence and makes learning easier.
4 When and where do these assessments take place?
Most assessments take place in the classroom and are very informal. This kind of assessment is part of the course and it is
unlikely that you will notice it happening! You might, for example, be asked to do an exercise as a group or with a partner and
the teacher will take the opportunity to listen in to what is going on.
5 How do I nd out more about the Languages Ladder?
Your tutor should be able to give you more information or you can talk to our languages advisor on 01908 556705
