Introduction
What is this booklet for?The aim of this booklet is to give a clear and simpleintroduction to the Common European Framework ofReference, and to show how it works with New Headway.This document is not a summary of the CommonEuropean Framework of Reference (CEF), which is anextremely comprehensive and detailed document of over250 pages. This introduction highlights points ofparticular interest, and if detailed information is required,teachers are advised to consult the original document.
The main body of this document maps each Student’s Book unit of New Headway Intermediate,Upper-Intermediate and Advanced and refers to thecompetences detailed in the CEF.
Why do we need a Common European Framework?The Council of Europe, an organization that includesnearly 50 European countries, began to develop theCommon European Framework in 1991. One of the mainpurposes of the Council of Europe is to promote a sharedEuropean identity, while recognizing the importance ofdifferent cultures. The promotion of language teachingand learning play a central role in this mission. Peoplewithin Europe, and indeed throughout the world, need tobe able to understand each other. The Council of Europetherefore wishes to encourage people to learn languagesand develop their ability to communicate with peoplefrom other countries and cultures.
What is the CEF? What are its aims?The CEF is a carefully developed descriptive framework.It has often closely linked educational and social aimsincluding:
• to encourage the development of language skills, sothat people can work together more effectively.
• to encourage the development of inter-culturalawareness and ‘plurilingualism’.
• to examine and define what we can do with alanguage.
• to help us compare the language levels of individualsin an accurate and impartial way, across differentcountries, educational systems, ages, and cultures.
• to encourage learner autonomy and lifelong learning.
• to promote a coherent approach to language teaching– not by imposing a system of its own, but byencouraging the sharing of ideas.
What are the CEF levels?There are six global levels in the CEF – what these levels reflect is shown in the table on the followingpages. Behind these levels are a very large number of competences which make up a person’s languageability – these are defined by ‘descriptors’.
The CEF says that teachers shouldn’t feel that theyhave to use these levels in their teaching situations.They are intended to be common reference points. It isalso important to remember that these levels are purelydescriptive, and that they don’t necessarily correspond to a year of study, or to 100 hours of study, for example.Everyone has different aims and learns at differentspeeds, in different environments, and in different ways.The CEF is careful to point out that the levels are not‘linear’ – that is, the time needed to move from A1 to A2 may not be the same as that needed to move from B1 to B2, or C1 to C2, and progress from level to levelmay slow down as a person moves up the levels. TheCEF recommends ‘extreme caution’ in trying to calculateor predict how long it will take to move from one CEFlevel to the next.
How do the CEF levels correspond to New Headway?New Headway Beginner takes the student through A1,providing absolute beginners with a solid foundation for learning. New Headway Elementary briefly revises A1,and then takes the student through A2. A2 correspondsto the Cambridge KET examination. If students havesuccessfully completed New Headway Elementary, theywould be prepared to sit the KET exam.
New Headway Pre-Intermediate briefly revises A2before covering approximately half of the competencesrequired for B1.
New Headway Intermediate, third edition covers thesecond half of the competences required for B1, andintroduces some of the competences of B2. Studentswho have successfully completed New HeadwayIntermediate are typically ready to sit the CambridgePET examination.
New Headway Upper-Intermediate covers theremaining competences of B2. Students who havesuccessfully completed this level are typically ready to sitthe Cambridge FCE Examination.
New Headway Advanced covers the competences atlevel C1. Students at this level are typically workingtowards sitting the Cambridge CAE examination.

Please refer to the table available on the Headwaywebsite to see how the full range of New Headway levelscorresponds to the CEF and also to the Cambridge ESOLsuite of examinations.
Is New Headway compatible with the CEF?Yes, definitely. The CEF focuses on using language in real, communicative contexts, and so does NewHeadway. The CEF encourages the development of theability to ‘do things’ in a foreign language, not just to‘know about’ that language, and this is an aim we allshare – though students also need to ‘know about’a language in order to function successfully in thatlanguage. As the CEF says, ‘… a language learner has to acquire both form and meaning’. For example, an A1descriptor might be ‘can understand simple directions’.In order to do this, students need to know lexical items(left, right, straight on, first, second, third), grammaticalelements such as imperatives (take the …, turn …), fixedphrases (you can’t miss it), and probably be able to askfor repetition. New Headway teaches the language andskills that students will need in order to develop theirrange of communicative competences.
Here are some examples of how New Headway fits withthe aims of the CEF:
• The Grammar, Vocabulary, and Everyday Englishsyllabus gives students the linguistic competences they need to be able to communicate successfully.
• Regular receptive and productive work on the fourskills – every Student’s Book unit has listening,reading, and writing practice – emphasizes whatstudent’s do with English.
• The Everyday English feature in each unit focuses onlanguage which is likely to be encountered by studentsin real-life situations, highlighting language use forpractical, concrete purposes.
• The Workbook, Teacher’s Resource Book, CD-Rom,teacher’s website and student’s website all offer extrapractice and learning resources.
• The Teacher’s Book gives you all the support youneed, including extra photocopiable material, a word list, and ideas to help you respond to yourstudents’ needs.
The CEF emphasizes that teachers and materials writerswill continue to need to make their own decisions aboutthe precise linguistic content of their courses – and thatis what we have done in New Headway. We hope that thedecisions we have made in writing the course help youand your students as much as they can.

Common European Framework of Reference Level Overview
proficient C2 Mastery This level is not supposed to equal native speaker mastery –though a student at this level would be a very successful learnerwho can use a language with real precision and fluency.
C1 Effective At this level students command a wide range of language.OperationalProficiency
independent B2 Vantage This level is where language use begins to become more ‘abstract’,for example giving and justifying opinions, summarizing a shortstory or plot, or giving detailed instructions.
B1 Threshold At this level students can maintain a conversation and expressideas. They can also begin to deal with problems and situationswhere they meet unpredictable language.
basic A2 Waystage This level has lots of descriptors for social functions, for example,greeting people, asking about work and free time, and makinginvitations.
A1 Breakthrough This is the lowest level of ‘generative language use’ – students caninteract in a simple way and ask and answer simple questions.
The CEF recognizes a level of ability below A1, whichincludes descriptors such as ‘can say yes, no, please,thank you’, ‘can use some basic greetings’, ‘can fill inuncomplicated forms’.
The CEF also recognizes that there can be levelsbetween these six global levels, such as A2+, B1+and B2+.
For a breakdown of the six global levels above,see chapter 3 of the CEF document.
For detailed scales for each area of competence,see chapter 4 of the CEF document.
