AXON POWER LEARN
The best blending learning system for kids and adults
The AXON Power Learn System unites traditional teaching methods with the magic of new technology. It consists of different levels aligned to the globally recognised Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

One global standard (CEFR)
ΑΧΟΝ Power Learn course levels and placement tests are aligned to the official Common European Framework of Reference for Languages(CEFR), which is the most widely used and recognized language proficiency scale in the world.
AXON Power Learn is a complete English language training solution, comprising a placement test, self-paced online study, midterm and final tests, active coaching, live communication skills training, all based on the CEFR proficiency scale.
The CEFR is made of six precisely defined competence levels ranging from basic user to near native speaker level. Using the CEFR proficiency scale, assessments are easily interpreted to determine language qualifications.
The Common European Framework comprehensively describes
- the competencies necessary for communication
- the related knowledge and skills
- the situations and domains of communication
The framework is of particular interest to multinational organizations as well as for course designers – in fact, to all those involved in corporate language teaching and testing. It facilitates a clear definition of teaching and learning objectives and methods, and provides the necessary tools for assessment of proficiency.

The course structure
AXON GLOBAL offers a learning method that guarantees the completion of each course successfully. The AXON GLOBAL method ensures a steady way of progressing, covering every aspect of language learning and consolidating all acquired knowledge. Hence, all learning levels are covered in full and the student acquires the language naturally without gaps. So passing from one level to the next comes naturally to all AXON students.
All new AXON students that have some previous knowledge of the language will start with an initial placement test level that will assess their level of comprehension, writing and use of language skills and guide them directly to the appropriate level.
The AXON GLOBAL programme is divided into levels and each level is composed of one or two courses depending on the case, following the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The CEFR describes language ability on a scale of levels from A1 for beginners up to C2 for those who have mastered a language. This makes it easy for anyone to see the different levels of knowledge. It also means that employers and educational institutions can easily recognise language competence and qualifications and see how they relate to exams they already know in their own country. The scheme proposed in the CEFR and adopted in the AXON GLOBAL curriculum divides students into three broad levels: Basic User: A1 and A2, Independent User: B1 and B2, Proficient User: C1 and C2.
