Teen Beginners Level

Teen Beginners are students who arrive in our country from other cultural backgrounds with very limited skills in English. They need materials at a beginner’s language level that present topics and ideas at a teenager’s interest level. All links presented in WebEnglish suited the web author’s latest practice with newly arrived immigrant students. The Teen Beginner level corresponds to CEFR levels A1 – A2.
