The tools of the Estonian language teacher as a second language teacher are a sub-page of the language portal verbaveeb, which helps language teachers and other specialists related to language learning in designing courses and preparing educational materials, exercise assets and tests.
The toolbox contains three components: vocabulary lists marked with language skills, a grammatical profile and a text vocabulary assessment tool.
The vocabulary section contains vocabulary lists of learners with different language skills of different ages. A distinction has been made between young language learners (language proficiency levels preA1 (pre-school), A1 (school level I - 1-3). Class), A2 (School level II - 4-6. Class) and B1 (School level III - 7-9. class) ) and adult language learners: primary language learners (A1 and A2), independent language users (B1 and B2) and proficient language users (C1 and C2).
The grammar section includes a young language learner (language proficiency levels preA1 (pre-school), A1 (school level I - 1-3). Class), A2 (School level II - 4-6. Class) and B1 (School level III - 7-9. ) a description of the indicative grammatical competence. An expert group consisting of Krista Light, Raili Pool, Pilvi Alp, Anu Epner, Reili Argus, Annika Bauer played a major role in the preparation of the profile. A description of the grammatical competence of young language learners B2 and adults is under development.
The text vocabulary assessment programme analyses texts on the basis of lists of different language proficiency levels of the vocabulary and shows what the text of the language proficiency vocabulary contains.
The following materials were the basis for compiling the vocabulary lists and grammatical profile of a young language learner:
