A1 Movers is the second of the three Young Learners tests, which are for children from 7 to 12 years. The test shows that a child is beginning to use everyday written and spoken English at a very basic level. A1 Movers will build your child’s confidence, so encouraging them to learn more and use their English at a more challenging level.

Real life language skills

Learning English which is both practical and useful, is important for children. It is also important that they learn to speak good English and that they work towards international standards which will enable them to study or work abroad.

The A1 Movers test is at the A1 level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

At this level your child can:

understand basic instructions or take part in a basic factual conversation on a predictable topic
understand basic notices, instructions or information
complete basic forms, and write notes including times, dates and prices.

The Young Learners tests are specifically designed with the interests of schoolchildren in mind, so stimulating their motivation to learn English. Based on familiar topics, the tests give your child the confidence they need, and inspire them to do well.

Your child is further motivated and encouraged when they receive their A1 Movers results

There is no pass or fail. All children receive an award which shows how many shields they have received. The maximum score is five shields for each part of the test.

An A1 Movers award is a great way to:

celebrate children’s achievement
build their confidence
reward their own individual ability.

A result of one shield means a child can improve a lot in that skill. Five shields mean that a child did very well in that skill and answered most questions correctly.

Children should be ready to start preparing for the next Cambridge English exam – A2 Flyers or A2 Key for Schools – if they achieve a total of 10 or 11 shields, or above.

Advantages for schools, teachers and parents:

preparation for the Young Learners tests can be connected to the existent school curriculum,
learners receive certificates showing their knowledge on an internationally accepted scale and are motivated to learn further,
individual schools create added value as they offer the learners in their environment an opportunity to gain language education similar to that which schools from larger towns can offer,
by providing additional language education, a school influences the future development of its region beneficially and achieves greater interconnection on state and international levels,
teachers who take part in preparing their learners for the tests have an opportunity to improve their professional knowledge both at their own school and in a wider context,
parents acquire external feedback about the progress of their child and value the effort their school puts into motivating the children to continue learning a foreign language and into offering additional activities to its learners.
