English levels define the various levels of proficiency used to support language learning, teaching, and assessment. The CEFR standard, which divides language proficiency into three more general levels (A, B, and C) and six more particular levels, is one of the most widely used English language standards in the world (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2).The CEFR English proficiency levels are a great tool to measure your current language skills.
There are six CEFR levels:
1. Beginner: CEFR Level A1
At A1 level English, you are referred to as a "super-beginner" because you have very little knowledge of the language. You will, however, be able to manage everyday situations using commonly used expressions and vocabulary (as long as the situation is familiar).
At A1 level, English learners can:
Use simple greetings and conversation starters to introduce themselves (such as the weather).
Comprehend extremely simple instructions given by locals.
Read straightforward notifications, posters, and signs to navigate cities.
Write brief summaries of their interests and activities.
2. Pre-Intermediate: CEFR Level A2
At the A2 level, or "Elementary," you can participate in everyday small talk and express your opinion, but only in very simple ways and on familiar topics. At this point, you will begin to delve deeply into the past and future tenses.
By the time you reach level A2, you ought to be proficient in grammar and have a working vocabulary of roughly 1500 words. To pass the A2 Cambridge examination, 180–200 hours of English study are required.
At A2 proficiency level, English learners can:
Discuss familiar topics with English speakers and network with English-speaking colleagues.
Understand slow, commonly used expressions in situations such as shopping, family, and work.
3. Intermediate: CEFR Level B1
The transition from A2 to B1 is significant, and it indicates that you have gained confidence in English. This is the time when you can go into clothing stores and restaurants and make requests of the staff with ease.
When you reach B1, you should have a working vocabulary of about 2500 words, and you should be able to recall about half of them quickly. The B1 Cambridge examination requires approximately 350-400 hours of language study.
English learners with a B1 proficiency level can:
Listen to and understand English TV shows, but English subtitles are still required.
Understand what's going on in the news by following the plot of fairly simple English stories.
Simple texts on familiar or personal topics should be written.
4. Upper-Intermediate: CEFR Level B2
Welcome to the world of basic English fluency!
This level of English allows you to work in English-speaking workplaces, schools, and colleges, and you can now produce complex sentences and sound natural in normal conversations. Sure, your English has a distinct flavor or accent, and you're far from prepared to deliver a speech on Kantian philosophy.
When you reach B2, you should have a working vocabulary of about 4000 words.
English learners with a B2 proficiency level can:
Participate actively in discussions in familiar settings, offering relevant explanations and arguments.
Understand normal speech spoken at normal speed, assuming the topic is reasonably familiar.
When reading a complex text, as well as contemporary literary prose, articles, and reports, understand the main ideas.
5. Advanced: CEFR Level C1
C1 is an advanced level of English. C1 users can speak English fluently and understand the language in (almost!) its entirety. You should be able to hold longer conversations about unfamiliar topics by this point. At C1, you can understand subtle linguistic jokes and express yourself using colorful native phrases.
Learners of English who are proficient in level C1 can:
Make presentations in the language and use it to express ideas clearly.
Recognize subtle jokes and underlying messages in a discussion.
comprehend a variety of challenging, longer texts.
Write widely on a wide variety of subjects and tackle new ones without difficulty.
6. Mastery: CEFR Level C2
The greatest level of English proficiency, C2, is what is referred to as "mastery." It suggests that the speaker of English is conversant enough to understand a native speaker. C2 English users are at ease writing or speaking about any topic, with nuanced expression and coherent delivery. You can also read and understand speech without difficulty. By C2, you should have a working vocabulary of around 16000 words.
At C2 proficiency level, English learners can:
They express themselves with spontaneity and fluency, and they face hostile questioning with confidence.
Write in a clear and concise manner, with the ability to summarize information to build comprehensive arguments.
They can easily understand everything they hear in the language.
Read complex, technical texts quickly.
