1. An overview of A1 Movers certificate

Young candidates have many choices to study and prepare for English certificates suitable for their abilities and age groups. Among these, the Cambridge Young Learners of English (YLE) program is gaining the trust of many parents as an option for their children to establish a foundation in the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing from an early age. YLE consists of 3 levels: Starters, Movers, and Flyers.

A1 Movers is the second level of YLE, corresponding to level A1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Movers exams are typically taken by elementary school students aged 8-10. At this level, students can understand basic instructions or engage in basic real-life conversations on easily understandable topics. They can understand announcements, basic instructions, or information; complete basic patterns; and write short passages, including time, dates, and locations.

Cambridge has compiled a vocabulary book for A1 Movers, divided into 10 topics. Each topic includes:

• A large picture describing the context, featuring vocabulary words along with a related text passage.
• Illustrated vocabulary words.
• “Let’s talk” section: Questions for children to practice answering after viewing the illustrated words.
