Özet

What happens if you take ten - for instance. Icelandic - words of seven letters and a card game with 21 cards in front so that some words will be seen often then you mix the cards and open 11 cards which word do you will remember? The most seen one? This might be only a very weak example for foreign language teaching experunents but it also contams very' important facts. Those facts can be used to make foreign language teaching How to select the right words, and how to collect the word frequency of a specific group. The Common European Framework Program for Teaching Languages (CEFR), covers foreign language teaching and learning levels of language proficiency, validated criteria and mcludes a table of mdicators (see Common European Language Framework Classification). Roughly speaking, tins classification, assessment and reference system is for all the languages specified. This overall state of the reference system consists of diree root levels:
- Basic user (levels A1 and A2)
- Independent user (levels B1 and B2)
- Competent user (levels Cl and C2) [1],
