Our World CEFR Chart

Using World English these last few months in my online classes has been a rewarding experience…the first weeks of lockdown took me by surprise and I wasn’t prepared for the situation. But the book and its topics have engaged my students in a way I wasn’t able to see in the face-to-face classroom.
