2 NorthStar Listening & Speaking 2, 4th EditionThe Global Scale of English and theCommon European Framework of ReferenceThe Global Scale of English is a standardized, granular scale from 10 to 90 which measures Englishlanguage proficiency. It is aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). Unlikethe CEFR, which describes proficiency in terms of broad levels, the Global Scale of English identifieswhat a learner can do at each point on a more granular scale—and within a CEFR level. The scale isdesigned to motivate learners by demonstrating incremental progress in their language ability. TheGlobal Scale of English forms the backbone for Pearson English course material and assessment.CEFR and the Global Scale of English both comprise a number of Can Do statements, or “learningobjectives,” for each of the four language skills, describing what learners should be able to do atdifferent levels of proficiency. The learning objectives are written to reflect what a student ‘Can Do’with language without regard to the context in which a language skill may surface. The GSE LearningObjectives have been aligned to the CEFR, and many additional statements created, rated for difficulty,and calibrated to the scale.This document provides an overview of the learning objectives that are covered in each unit of thecourse. As the learning objectives focus specifically on language skills, some learning objectives will berepeated multiple times, a reflection of the fact that skills are built through practice in multiple contexts.In order for a learner to successfully learn and internalize a skill (with the goal of achieving masteryin the second or foreign language), it is important to encounter the skill in a variety of contexts.The content of NorthStar course is designed to provide multiple touch points from which a learnercan explore the possibilities of use of any given language skill. From conversations in the home tocommunication in a store, learners will have a variety of opportunities to improve their agility andfluency with the various skills.For each learning objective we indicate whether a statement is from the original CEFR or newly createdby Pearson English:(C)(Ca)(N2000)(N2000a)(N2007a)(P)Common European Framework descriptor, verbatim, Council of EuropeCommon European Framework descriptor, adapted or edited, Council of EuropeNorth (2000) descriptor, verbatimNorth (2000) descriptor, adapted or editedNorth (2007) expanded set of C1 and C2 descriptors, adapted or editedNew Pearson descriptorVisit English.com/gse to learn more about the Global Scale of English.NorthStar 4th edition is aligned with the Global Scale of English and the Common European Frameworkof Reference.
