Program Overview
The Spoken English Speech Buddy program is designed to help learners build confidence and fluency in everyday communication through structured, theme-based conversational practice.
It follows the European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), progressing from A1 (Beginner) to C2 (Proficient), with each level providing real-world speaking opportunities aligned with the learner’s linguistic development.
Curriculum Framework
The curriculum is built around 10 key communication themes, each containing 5 real-life conversation scenarios per level.
This ensures that students move from basic everyday exchanges to complex social and cultural communication, while continuously improving pronunciation, grammar, and fluency through AI-supported feedback.
| CEFR Level | Learning Stage | Theme Approach | Skill Development Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 – Beginner | Learners begin to use simple expressions and basic interactions | Common foundational themes | Everyday communication, basic self-expression |
| A2 – Elementary | Learners expand on familiar topics with growing vocabulary | Same themes as A1 with broader vocabulary | Describing routines, people, preferences |
| B1 – Intermediate | Learners communicate independently in familiar contexts | Continuation of same themes with higher linguistic demand | Narrating experiences, expressing opinions, polite interaction |
| B2 – Upper Intermediate | Learners can discuss abstract and unfamiliar topics with fluency | Introduction of new, advanced themes | Debates, expressing viewpoints, managing discussions |
| C1 – Advanced | Learners use language flexibly for social, academic, and professional purposes | New, complex and cognitive themes | Persuasive communication, interpreting meaning, advanced discourse |
| C2 – Proficient | Learners communicate with mastery and cultural appropriateness | Entirely new themes reflecting global and abstract ideas | Leadership communication, cultural reflection, social analysis |

Pedagogical Rationale
-
Continuity of Themes (A1–B1):
At the foundational stages, learners are still developing linguistic confidence and communicative competence.
Keeping the same set of themes for A1, A2, and B1 serves several instructional and cognitive purposes:
- Reinforcement through familiarity: Learners build language through repetition of known contexts. The familiar topics lower anxiety and allow focus on grammar, fluency, and pronunciation rather than new content.
- Spiral progression: Each level deepens the same theme linguistically — from simple identification to description, then to expression of opinions or feelings.
- Cognitive ease: Using the same topics across lower levels aligns with how language is naturally acquired — gradually expanding function and complexity without cognitive overload.
- Functional mastery: Learners revisit core social contexts (introductions, family, school, hobbies, shopping, travel, etc.) while progressively improving the accuracy, vocabulary range, and discourse control required to handle them more naturally.
Theme A1 Focus A2 Focus B1 Focus Introductions Saying hello and introducing oneself Describing yourself and your family Talking about your experiences or background Daily Life Describing your day Talking about routines and habits Discussing lifestyle and time management Travel Asking for directions Booking a ticket or hotel Sharing travel experiences and recommendations This repetition-with-progression model is pedagogically aligned with Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development — allowing students to build upon existing schema (familiar topics) while increasing linguistic challenge.
-
Introduction of New Themes (B2–C2):
From B2 onward, learners move beyond routine communication into conceptual, analytical, and expressive use of English.
Here, entirely new and cognitively rich themes are introduced to enable complex thinking and cultural expression.
- B2 (Upper Intermediate): Learners discuss global issues, social media, technology, and current affairs. Focus shifts from “describing” to “arguing” and “negotiating.”
- C1 (Advanced): Learners develop argumentation, persuasion, and critical reflection — themes involve ethics, relationships, cultural identity, and global communication.
- C2 (Proficient): Learners engage in abstract, philosophical, and cross-cultural discourse, demonstrating linguistic precision, empathy, and sociocultural awareness.
This thematic evolution mirrors the CEFR descriptor shift — from functional accuracy to discourse competence and sociolinguistic sophistication.
-
Alignment with Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) Principles:
The design reflects the CLT methodology, ensuring learners:
- Use language for meaningful communication, not just structure drills.
- Engage in context-based learning — real-life conversations, situational tasks, and problem-solving.
- Develop both fluency and accuracy progressively across CEFR levels.
- Receive AI-based adaptive feedback through Speech Buddy, which helps refine pronunciation, grammar, and intonation
