About jess.foo

jess.foo is more than just an English learning platform; it’s your personal roadmap🗺 to conquering💪 English, from the basics to advanced mastery. Created by a seasoned ELICOS teacher with nearly two decades of experience, this site is tailored for adults embarking on their English learning journey in Australia🦘

How to use this site

If you are studying English in Australia, you’re probably attending one of the following classes:

  • Beginner
  • Elementary
  • Pre-Intermediate
  • Intermediate
  • Upper Intermediate
  • Advanced

These class names can be converted to a level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR):

  • Beginner is before A1, and not on the scale
  • Elementary is A1
  • Pre-Intermediate is A2
  • Intermediate is B1
  • Upper Intermediate is B2
  • Advanced is C1

Once you know your class or CEFR level, you can find appropriate learning materials in the site’s navigation menu, under Find Your Class.

Each class/level is divided into 12 weeks, which compliment National Geographic Learning’s Life (2nd edition) series. This is the textbook my on-campus students are currently using, and is a useful resource to guide your language learning.
