Market Leader Elementary 3rd Ed correlation

Comment on level

Market Leader Elementary starts at A1 level but is not suitable for complete beginners in English. It is however,

very suitable for learners who have some background in English which has largely been forgotten. Typically, this type

of adult student is able to comprehend at a fairly good A1 level but lacks the ability and confidence to express their

ideas. The graded tasks in Market Leader Elementary will gradually build the productive skills whilst polishing and

extending comprehension in business contexts. The A1 language training is for revision and refreshment, building

fluency and accuracy in expression.
