What a newcomer (novice speaker) can do by the end of the year.

This video shows an adult novice speaker at the same or even a higher level than could be expected of novice level newcomer students in an English Language Acquisition class with no prior exposure to English.

Intermediate Speaker 1

Here is an example of an adult speaker at an intermediate level of English Language Acquisition. As you watch this speaker can carry on a conversation over highly rehearsed topics and can ask questions. This example is one in which the speaker has had a significant amount of exposure to the language in comprehensible input and may have studied English for up to two years with access to auditory learning. If the student has not had access to auditory learning they may have studied the language for a much greater amount of time to become this proficient in speaking English.

Intermediate Speaker 2

This is an example of an adult speaker and as you watch notice that she is able to respond to highly rehearsed topics and she can frame her responses into a story or a chronological sequence of events. This example is one in which the speaker has had a significant amount of exposure to the language in comprehensible input and may have studied English for up to two years with access to auditory learning. If the student has not had access to auditory learning they may have studied the language for a much greater amount of time to become this proficient in speaking English.
