The Unlock series is published by Cambridge University Press, and Level 2 is designed to correspond to the A2 level (Basic User) of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).In the second year, English Skills A and English Skills B are offered with three different class types. Each focuses on four skills, business English skills, and speaking skills.
