It is usually easy to reach this level, and progress is always obvious. Students feel their progress and understand that they acquire the language. Usually, when students start with lower levels and feel how fast and easy the progress is made, they feel motivated and interested. At the intermediate level, students may not feel much progress but, in contrast to lower levels, they know enough to express themselves, to initiate and maintain the conversation about serious issues; and they can use language creatively. Also, the class begins to relax a little as students start to communicate more freely without needing so much input and guidance from the teacher. There is a shift of focus from what they don’t know (everything, at the lower levels) to what they do know, and what they can do with it. They can deal with most of the basic functions they need and, consequently, many learners never get beyond this level.

Levels, relax
