Intermediate Level, Year 7-9
At the intermediate level, Swedish year 7-9, most students in Sweden can make themselves understood by writing and speaking in everyday situations. They can also understand clearly spoken language and by the 9th grade they understand teenage level literature from native English speaking countries. Materials until the 9th grade still need to be adapted to ESL/EFL learners. All links presented in WebEnglish.se are carefully chosen from those the Web Author has used or could well use in her own practice.
