Cambridge Program for Children’s English Learning

Cambridge’s “Cambridge English: Young Learners” (YLE) program is designed for children aged 5 to 11.

The Starters, Movers, and Flyers assessments in the YLE Junior English program correspond to the Pre A1, A1, and A2 levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The CEFR is an internationally recognized standard established by the Council of Europe to evaluate language proficiency, ranging from basic levels A (Pre A1, A1, A2) to proficient levels C (C1 and C2).

As indicated in the CEFR reference framework, Pre A1 Starters, A1 Movers, and A2 Flyers represent the initial stages in a child’s journey to mastering English. It is important to note that there is no “pass” or “fail” result in these children’s English assessments. However, a score is deemed satisfactory when a child obtains a total of 10 or more shields across three sections, with a minimum of 2 shields in each section. Achieving a total of 10 shields indicates that your child possesses all the necessary skills at their current level and is prepared to progress to the next stage of Cambridge English examinations.

Requests for recorded lessons can also be arranged to allow for review and reinforcement of the material.

This format allows for focused, personalized attention from educators, ensuring continuous error correction and interactive engagement throughout the lesson.

In one-on-one settings, teachers closely monitor a child’s progress and adapt their teaching methods according to individual learning abilities.

All classes are conducted by native speakers, providing a fully immersive English environment. This approach helps children to develop standard pronunciation from an early age, making it easier for them to progress to more advanced levels in the future.
