How is English teaching organized in Switzerland?
English lessons in Switzerland are based on the levels of the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, both in terms of the description of communicative competencies and their assessment. The English curriculum also takes into account the intermediate levels of the European Language Portfolio II. English lessons at compulsory school enable learners to use English at an elementary and increasingly independent level.
