SKILL BUILDERS GOALS
Why These Goals Are Here
These goals come from the CEFR — a system that shows how language skills grow step by step. I’ve posted them here to help learners (and teachers) who would like to use them to gage their progress. If you're preparing for a test or trying to move from A2 to B1, these goals can guide you on how to use English in real life — especially how to sound more natural when you speak, write, or respond.
Each goal includes a few suggested practice ideas. But remember — language growth isn’t always in order. Some people speak well but struggle with reading. Some write well but need help listening. Use this page to see where you are now and what you might work on next. And remember, progress looks different for everyone. (click here or the image to download)
What are the CEFR Goals?
The goals listed in each PDF describe what learners should be able to read, listen to, say, or write at each level — from A1 (beginner) to C2 (advanced).
What is PIE?
The PIE Method
PIE stands for Pronunciation, Intonation, and Expression — the three key ingredients that make English sound natural and authentic.
This method supports all skill areas: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing, helping you develop rhythm, tone, and clear communication.
Pronunciation – Speak clearly and confidently
Intonation – Use natural tone, stress, and pause
Expression – Choose words that fit the moment
Whether you're just beginning or advancing, PIE helps you move beyond textbook English and into real, everyday language.
