The framework is of particular interest to multinational organizations as well as for course designers – in fact, to all those involved in corporate language teaching and testing. It facilitates a clear definition of teaching and learning objectives and methods, and provides the necessary tools for assessment of proficiency.

The course structure
AXON GLOBAL offers a learning method that guarantees the completion of each course successfully.
The AXON GLOBAL method ensures a steady way of progressing, covering every aspect of language learning and consolidating all acquired knowledge. Hence, all learning levels are covered in full and
the student acquires the language naturally without gaps. So passing from one level to the next comes naturally to all AXON students.
All new AXON students that have some previous knowledge of the language will start with an initial placement test level that will assess their level of comprehension, writing and use of language skills
and guide them directly to the appropriate level.
The AXON GLOBAL programme is divided into levels and each level is composed of one or two courses depending on the case, following he Common
European Framework of Reference for
Languages (CEFR). The CEFR describes language ability on a scale of levels from A1 for beginners up to C2 for those who have mastered a language.
This makes it easy for anyone to see the different levels of knowledge.
It also means that employers and educational institutions can easily recognise language competence and qualifications and see how they relate to exams they already know in their own country. The scheme proposed in the CEFR and adopted in the AXON GLOBAL curriculum divides students into three broad levels: Basic User: A1 and A2, Independent User: B1 and B2, Proficient User: C1 and C2.
| Axon Levels | CFFR |
|---|---|
| True Beginners | |
| A1.a A1.b | A1/ Breakthrough: A basic ability to communicate and exchange information in a simple way |
| A2.a A2.b | A2/ Waystage: The ability to deal with simple, straightforward information and begin to express oneself in familar contexts |
| B1 | B1/ Threshold: the ability to express oneself in a limited way in familiar situations and to deal in a general way with nonroutine information |
| B2 | B2/ Vantage: The capacity to achieve most goals and express oneself on a range of topics |
| C1 IELTS IGCSE |
C1/ Effective Operational Proficiency: The ability to communicate at an advanced level with the emphasis on how well it is done, in terms od appropriacy, sensitivy and the capacity to deal with unfamiliar topics |
| C2 | C2/ Mastery: The capacity to deal with material which is academic or cognitively demanding and in some respects more advanced than that of an average native speaker |
