Description

Welcome to the Safir Teacher Education Podcast! In today’s episode, we’ll explore the connection between CEFR levels (A1 to C2) and different syllabus types (functional, structural, and task-based). Whether you're an experienced teacher or just starting out, this episode will help you understand how to match your learners' levels with the right syllabus style to create impactful lessons.

We’ll break down each CEFR level, explaining what learners can do at each stage, and then we’ll dive into three syllabus types: structural (focused on grammar), functional (focused on communication), and task-based (focused on real-world tasks). You'll learn how to blend these syllabus types effectively for practical, engaging, and goal-oriented language teaching.

Join us as we walk through practical examples, lesson planning tips, and common pitfalls to avoid in your classroom. By the end of this episode, you'll be equipped with strategies to design lessons that are not only fun and engaging but also aligned with learners' needs and real-life language use.

Tune in to hear how CEFR can-dos, syllabus blending, and task-based learning can transform your teaching practice!
