The Alison English Vertical<\/span><\/h1>\n

The Alison English Vertical is a series of courses designed to be taken in order, with topics ranging from beginner to proficient.\u00a0 Each course was designed with English language learners in mind and focused on specific grammar and vocabulary points while building on the information<\/span><\/i> from previous courses. This structure allows the learner to take the courses in sequential order and reinforce prior knowledge while learning new skills.\u00a0 The English Vertical Courses are built around the <\/i>Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).\u00a0 This framework allows learners to gain a solid understanding of English and help them achieve their individual goals.<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
