Applications and Levels CEFR A1 (Beginner) What are your options if you have an English A1 level? For incredibly basic interactions, such as those you may have as a visitor in an English-speaking nation, an A1 level of English would be sufficient. For other academic or professional uses, an A1 level would not be sufficient. The official CEFR rules state that someone with an English language proficiency of A1: possess the ability to comprehend and employ simple sentences and words that are intended to satiate concrete demands. can introduce themselves and others, as well as ask and respond to inquiries about personal information including where they live, who they know, and what they own. can communicate with others in a straightforward manner so long as they speak clearly and slowly and are willing to assist. The official can-do statements are divided into smaller parts for instructional purposes. A1 level English skills in depth.

This more thorough skill breakdown can aid both students and teachers in determining a student’s level of proficiency in English. For instance, an English learner at the A1 level will be able to: make a brief introduction of themselves; and use simple greetings. Give a brief summary of their hometown and the hometowns of the other participants. merely about your relatives and coworkers, explaining their characteristics. Ask simple questions about apparel to salespeople and engage in basic conversation regarding clothing. Make simple takeout food orders and discuss favourite cuisines. discuss daily affairs and schedule appointments with friends and coworkers. describe the present weather and offer suggestions for activities based on the forecast. talk to a doctor about his health in broad words and discuss regular medical symptoms. Give straightforward directions and a description of where his or her residence is. discuss their interests and hobbies and create arrangements for enjoyable activities with friends or coworkers. check in and out at a hotel, among other fundamental transactions. Talk about typical things, make simple purchases, and send back defective goods.

CEFR A2 (Elementary)

What are your options if you have an A2 in English? While travelling to English-speaking nations and mingling with English speakers are both possible with an A2 level of English, deeper friendships cannot be formed at this level. Working in English at the A2 level is confined to highly common themes, although it does allow networking with English-speaking coworkers. For academic study or to watch the majority of English-language media, an A2 level of English is insufficient (TV, movies, radio, magazines, etc.). According to the official CEFR rules, a speaker of English at the A2 level is able to: Understand common terms and sentences in areas of most immediate significance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment). capable of communicating in simple and ordinary tasks requiring a straightforward exchange of information on everyday, common topics. possesses the ability to clearly and simply communicate components of his or her background, immediate environment, and needs in those areas.

People with a B1 level of English are able to read basic reports on well-known themes and send basic e-mails on issues relevant to their line of work. A B1 level, however, is insufficient to completely communicate in English at work. The official CEFR rules state that someone has an English language proficiency of B1: able to comprehend the key ideas of plain standard input on well-known topics frequently met at work, in school, at leisure, etc. can handle the majority of problems that can occur while travelling in a region where the language is spoken. can write straightforward, coherent text about familiar or interesting topics. can briefly explain the causes and justifications behind beliefs and goals while describing experiences, events, dreams, desires, and objectives.

However, a B2 level English speaker will be lacking in nuance, especially outside of their area of expertise. Additionally, he or she might overlook some subtleties and suggested meanings in speech. The official CEFR rules state that someone with an English language proficiency of B2: possesses the ability to comprehend the major concepts of complicated texts on both concrete and abstract issues, including technical talks in their area of expertise. can communicate with native speakers with a level of spontaneity and fluency that allows frequent interaction with them possible without any stress on either party. can write content that is both clear and informative on a variety of topics and convey a point of view on a current issue by weighing the benefits and drawbacks of several options.
