Introduction
Welcome to Framework English B. This is book 2 in a series of English language textbooks
designed to improve learners’ communicative and cognitive skills. Based on the aims andassessment criteria of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR),
this book follows CEFR’s goals for developing learners’ language skills. CEFR’s assessment
criteria is categorized into proficiency levels (A1-C2), and this action-based book primarily
targets A2-B1 levels. Vocabulary has been selected largely from the A2-B2 CEFR-J levels; a CEFR
informed word list designed for Asian learners of English. Book 2 builds on book 1 by targeting
higher levels of CEFR-J rated vocabulary and CEFR rated grammar. The selected language has
been allocated within 6 topic-based modules of personal, social, educational and professional
relevance for learners, by covering topics such as biographies, personalities and predictions.
In doing so, learners can develop interpersonal and intrapersonal skills by understanding how
people can communicate effectively, as well as knowing their own strengths and weaknesses,
and identifying their potential career paths. Furthermore, these modules are looked at frominternational viewpoints so learners can improve their understanding of multiculturalism andexpress their opinions about different cultures.
Each module follows a systematic structure. Learners are first provided with learning goals,
followed by a progression of tasks and activities that allow learners to practice and develop
communicative and cognitive skills. Each module also provides visual graphic organizers that
help learners to extract key information from complex listening and reading texts. Graphicorganizers are also used to help students develop strategies for planning and organizing theirthoughts clearly for productive writing. At the end of each module, learners complete “Cando” statements which reflect the goals outlined at the start of the module, enabling them toassess their strengths and weaknesses. There are also three review units that consist of research
projects where learners answer research questions by collecting and reporting on data using key
language features of the modules. In doing so, learners develop important cognitive skills such as
analyzing information, reasoning, inferring, and displaying visual data.
The communicative and cognitive skills developed from using Framework English B can benefit
life-long learning not only in relation to students’ English studies, but also other areas of theiracademic studies, as well as their future careers.
