The module is suitable for learners with an elementary knowledge of the language who are already familiar with the alphabet and can read Bengali. The overall intended outcome is for learners to be able to engage with a range of everyday situations in the target language in areas of immediate relevance, such as family, studying, shopping, local geography, employment, and be familiar with aspects of Bengali culture. The module is based on a syllabus which reflects the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) descriptors at level A2. These descriptors describe levels of language proficiency for the language activities of reception, production, interaction and mediation. Teaching follows an eclectic approach centred on communicative and task-based language teaching. Students are exposed to listening and reading texts to develop their receptive skills. Tasks close to real-life situations will develop their interaction and production skills, at an elementary level. The aim of language learning is communicative ability in real life. A carefully designed and progressive grammar syllabus ensures that learning activities develop accuracy as well as fluency. Teacher-centred instruction is balanced with collaborative interaction between learners in small groups. Learners are understood as plurilingual and pluricultural beings who are encouraged to use all their linguistic resources when necessary, and to see similarities as well as differences between languages and cultures. Linguistic mediation tasks will activate and develop learners¿ skills in the target language as well as their plurilingual and pluricultural competence.
