Table of English levels ‹ Ingleks

According to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), which was developed at the end of the 20th century, foreign language proficiency is usually divided into 6 levels. In 2001, the Council of Europe decided to use the CEFR to assess language proficiency in any language taught as a foreign language. According to the CEFR system, students' knowledge of a foreign language is divided into 3 groups, each of which, in turn, is divided into 2 groups. This is what CEFR English proficiency levels look like:

The level of English proficiency is determined depending on how well a person is able to understand spoken language, read texts of varying complexity and understand what they read, compose a complete thought on their own, using everything the possibilities of your vocabulary. nine0003

By itself, the level of knowledge of English grammar and an extensive vocabulary does not always indicate that a person has a good command of it. The most accurate level of English can only be determined by taking into account how a person understands foreign speech by ear, how quickly he is able to capture the information he hears, how well he knows how to follow the rules of pronunciation.

Therefore, often tests that do not include personal communication between the client and a competent specialist cannot provide the full picture, their results are only approximate. nine0003

Differences between levels of English

The main differences between people who speak English at different levels are the amount of their knowledge, speech skills and vocabulary. The study of this subject is carried out at six different levels, which are determined by preliminary testing of students. These levels and a brief description of the knowledge and skills that a person who owns it should have are given in the table.

English levels:

• A1 (Beginner) - Communication skills are developed at a basic level. A person knows how to use everyday phrases and expressions. Can read and understand short inscriptions.

Determining the level of language proficiency according to the results of international tests

The most objective way to assess your English is to take one of the international tests. Based on its results, you can get a certificate suitable for presentation abroad to confirm your language level. At the same time, the choice of the type of exam that you need to take depends on which country you need a certificate for. English proficiency levels correspond to the results of international exams, as in the table. nine0003

So, levels A1-A2 are the basic skills to understand and communicate in English. To achieve them, it is necessary to hone communication skills on simple everyday topics, talk about yourself, your life, your own tastes and preferences, maintain a simple dialogue, discuss ongoing everyday situations, understand what you read if the text covers relatively simple topics. Communication with a native speaker at these levels of proficiency will be quite difficult if the interlocutor does not try to speak slowly and pronounce words clearly. To improve understanding of English speech at this level, it will be useful to watch films or programs with subtitles in English. This will also allow you to expand your vocabulary, get acquainted with some idioms. nine0003

Levels B1-B2 indicate an average language proficiency. When a person can have conversations with native speakers, for example, while traveling, discussing traffic situations, asking for directions, clarifying some everyday information or on an abstract topic. So, people who speak the language at these levels will not find it difficult to communicate with a hotel receptionist, waiters in a restaurant, shop assistants while in an English-speaking country. He will also be able to speak completely fluently with a native speaker on familiar topics, for example, related to his profession. Unfamiliar topics may cause little difficulty in understanding the speaker, but it will still be possible to maintain a conversation with him if the interlocutor gives explanations to rare unfamiliar words and idioms. With this level of language proficiency, it is already possible to pass an interview for a job or study in English. nine0003

Levels C1-C2 is language proficiency at an advanced level, at or near perfection. Having reached these levels of English, you can easily communicate with native speakers on absolutely any topic, freely use it in work or scientific activities. Understanding reaches a level at which neither idioms nor slang words cause any difficulty. You do not need to think about the choice of words when expressing your own thoughts. A person can easily communicate with others in an English-speaking country during a visit or permanent residence, while there is no language barrier. For those who have reached this level of English proficiency, it will not be difficult to pass a language test for citizenship in an English-speaking country. nine0003

How can I find out my level of English?

In order to improve English proficiency, learning success and developing the necessary skills, it is necessary to first make a plan based on what skills the person already has. You can determine your level of English by one of several tests, which include different types of tasks and test for different skills. You can take the tests for free at the link https://www.efset.org/en/free-english-test/. But the most objective assessment of the level of language proficiency will be if it includes the oral part of communication with the examiner. nine0003

What level of English should be indicated in the resume?

If knowledge of English is not required for the job you are interested in, then this item can be omitted, especially if you have nothing to brag about, but for some positions this criterion may be one of the key criteria in selecting a candidate. The most important rule is not to embellish reality, as you will still be asked to take an interview in English, where the recruiter can easily understand how well you communicate in English. If the information indicated in the resume does not correspond to reality, then the truth will be revealed very soon, and you will uselessly waste the employer's time and your own.
