Stage One is the beginning stage of language learning. At this stage students start by understanding and producing isolated words and learned phrases. Later, they can understand and use everyday words, action words, commands, simple phrases, sentences, and questions.
Comprehension is generally better than language production.
Stage Two is the emerging stage of language learning. At this stage students can create with language. They initiate and sustain basic communicative tasks. They ask and answer simple questions, narrate, and describe in sentences and groups of related sentences, read and understand short written passages, and compose short messages, announcements, and simple letters. Stage Three is the expanding stage of language learning.
