What each level aims to help you do, what you can practice today, and what still needs building.
A clear destination. An honest current position.
CEFR is the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Its levels describe abilities across understanding, producing, interacting and mediating meaning. The objectives below are Russian Cases’ own planning targets, informed by that framework.
This is a coverage audit of the current resource, not a complete syllabus, a certificate or a promise that finishing the modules achieves a level. All six levels still need substantial assessment and independent teacher review. Beginner through A2 is the first development priority; advanced material remains supplementary.
Council of Europe: the framework and descriptors · Updated 2026-10-07 · Owner: Leandro TavaraThe current collection, at a glance.
Counts describe material available, not the percentage of a complete course. A short grammar exercise is not equivalent to a listening, writing or speaking assessment.

Make yourself understood
Read Cyrillic, introduce yourself, describe people, and make simple requests.
Partial support: related material exists, but the objective is not fully taught and assessed. Task prompt only: a suggested activity without a complete teaching sequence. Not yet built: an explicit development gap.
A1 / ReadingPartial support
Find a name, location, price or opening time in a short everyday text.
- Instruction and grammar support
- These modules teach component language. They do not by themselves teach or assess the whole objective.
- Practice available now
- Read the listed original texts, collect words and compare the English translation. The last listed text includes three comprehension prompts; earlier texts do not.
- Новый сосед 87 words · Free
- Два чая, пожалуйста 94 words · Free
- Чай и шахматы 132 words · Free
- How you get feedback
- English paragraph translations and, where provided, suggested answers for self-review. A teacher can comment on work assigned in a classroom.
- How achievement is checked
- Comprehension responses are self-reviewed. There is no calibrated reading-level test or unseen-text pass standard.
- Next work required
- Add more text types, broader vocabulary recycling and unseen reading checks with reviewed acceptable answers.
A1 / ListeningPartial support
Recognize a greeting and pick out a name or familiar word from slow, clear speech.
- Instruction and grammar support
- These modules teach component language. They do not by themselves teach or assess the whole objective.
- Practice available now
- Recorded alphabet names and a letter-recognition game, plus the free song’s three-word listening log. Native listening offers a short-segment task prompt.
- How you get feedback
- Alphabet recognition checks have answer keys. Video tasks use self-review checklists; transcripts and video-specific answer keys are not supplied throughout.
- How achievement is checked
- Spotting song words is self-reported; typing practice checks grammar. Neither demonstrates listening proficiency. No substantial listening-level assessment exists.
- Next work required
- Build graded audio sequences with reliable transcripts, source-specific comprehension tasks, natural recordings and unfamiliar listening assessments.
A1 / SpeakingPartial support
Say your name, home country and one interest, using understandable short phrases.
- Instruction and grammar support
- These modules teach component language. They do not by themselves teach or assess the whole objective.
- Practice available now
- A level-labelled voice prompt, recording and playback, with optional private storage and comparison of two recordings. Longer speaking missions can be completed in parts.
- How you get feedback
- Self-comparison and optional recognized-word matching. This is not a phoneme, accent or spontaneous-speech accuracy score. Your own teacher may review separately.
- How achievement is checked
- Recordings are evidence to discuss, not graded level attainment. No dependable automated feedback on unscripted speech or staffed assessment is available.
- Next work required
- Add natural model recordings, extended speaking tasks, trained human feedback and a reviewed rubric for clarity, fluency, range and accuracy.
A1 / WritingPartial support
Write a short introduction with basic personal information and a simple preference.
- Instruction and grammar support
- These modules teach component language. They do not by themselves teach or assess the whole objective.
- Practice available now
- The level’s writing mission and personal homework notebook support drafting, self-review and revision. Grammar modules offer four controlled questions each.
- How you get feedback
- Controlled questions have authored answers and explanations. Free writing is not automatically graded. A learner’s own classroom teacher can leave private feedback.
- How achievement is checked
- A saved draft or checked checklist is not a writing-level pass. No independently reviewed benchmark scripts or moderated ratings are in place.
- Next work required
- Supply progressively extended model texts, feedback on valid alternatives, guided revisions, benchmark scripts and unfamiliar writing tasks.
A1 / InteractionPartial support
Greet someone, order a drink and ask for repetition when you need it.
- Instruction and grammar support
- These modules teach component language. They do not by themselves teach or assess the whole objective.
- Practice available now
- Four authored situations: a neighbour, café, chess club and evening plans. Each has four turns and recognized answer patterns.
- How you get feedback
- Recognized patterns receive specific notes. An unmatched free response is ungraded, not automatically incorrect.
- How achievement is checked
- Guided-pattern completion and self-review do not assess spontaneous interaction. No unpredictable oral interview or validated interaction rating is provided.
- Next work required
- Broaden situations and add supported, less predictable turns with natural responses and human-reviewed alternatives.
A1 / MediationNot yet built
Help a beginner understand the essential information on a simple menu or notice.
- Instruction and grammar support
- These modules teach component language. They do not by themselves teach or assess the whole objective.
- Practice available now
- The target above is a development goal. Current grammar and reading materials can prepare vocabulary, but there is no dedicated mediation sequence.
- How you get feedback
- No source-paired model synthesis or reviewed mediation answer set. A learner’s own teacher can assign and comment on a response.
- How achievement is checked
- No assessment checks whether source meaning, disagreement and uncertainty were preserved for a new audience.
- Next work required
- Author simple source-to-message tasks with model responses, feedback and a fresh transfer task.

The order below matches the learning path. These short modules are component practice; use the skill map to see what they do and do not cover.
What can we assess today?
| Assessment | Status | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Placement | Not built | Choose a level by its tasks for now; no placement score is issued. |
| Controlled lesson checks | Available, limited | Four questions per module; practice adds eight examples per supported pattern. |
| Substantial level assessment | Not built | No level pass, certificate or all-skills completion claim. |
| Scheduled recall | Available, limited | Supported patterns and saved words return over increasing intervals. Repeating them does not establish transfer to unfamiliar material. |
| Delayed transfer check | Not built | Needs new texts, prompts and situations after a delay, with reviewed marking. |
| Independent review and outcomes | Pending | No completed independent teacher audit, moderated learner trial or comparative superiority evidence. |
From two viewpoints to your own position.
A substantial C1 unit needs connected work, not a longer label on a short quiz. This proposed sequence is a development specification; the source pair, audio, reviewed keys and assessment are not yet published.
- Read: two sustained Russian texts that disagree; trace each claim and its evidence.
- Listen: a related interview; distinguish what is said from what is implied.
- Mediate: write a synthesis that preserves the differences and attributes claims.
- Interact: defend an interpretation and respond to unscripted follow-ups.
- Revise: use specific feedback on meaning, organization, register and language.
- Transfer: repeat the abilities later with unfamiliar material and reviewed criteria.
Publication requires usable source permissions, reliable audio and text, reviewed explanations and alternatives, model work, a feedback route and a later transfer task. Learner trials must then test whether it works.
