Common European framework of reference for languages - outline needed.

Hi, guys. I �ve been searching about the CEFR for languages and would like to ask if anyone knows of a website or something that could have a syllabus or course outline to help me organize a book according to the levels A1, A2, B1, ...

I know that the CEFR gives a description of what a person CAN do to be considered in that level, and I �m preparing an outline for a course, but would like to get other ideas for the content and grammar organization.

I thank in advance and appreciate it if anybody can help me with more information or links.

Best regards!
Bruna.

Hi there! If you go to some of the main publishers websites for example Cambridge then often they have charts showing how their books fit into the scale.

For example I have been using the Face2face series and it links directly with the scale. In the contents pages it outlines the areas and topics covered too.
See this link: http://www.cambridge.org/elt/face2face/cef/default.htm
and this link too : http://www.cambridge.org/elt/face2face/esol/default.htm

This is the official website.

This Wiki entry is very clear and informative as well (I think it �s actually better).

Most publishers now also mention (on the back of each book or on their website) which CEFR level their books are for. I think that choosing a series of course books that cater to all CEFR levels first and then putting students in the appropriate level is much easier than preparing your outline first and then trying to find a course book that fits your needs. The outline or curriculum is basically your contents pages (these pages usually mention clearly which Grammar items, Vocabulary, Functions etc. are taught in the book).
