What are the levels of English

For beginners to learn English, this process is usually vague and uncertain. But the methodology of teaching English is so refined that it is enough to determine the level of a person, after which it is possible to arrange training so as to achieve the desired result in the shortest possible time. For starters, it’s useful to learn about what levels exist and on which of them you want to master the language.

Zero Level, Full Beginner

This applies only to those who know absolutely nothing about the language, even the alphabet. If you studied English at school or college, then this is definitely not about you. Given the prevalence of the English language, it is difficult to find an adult who would have an absolute zero level.

Elementary Knowledge, 1 Elementary

Unfortunately, this is the level among those who studied English at school. A person knows a few simple words, has vague ideas about grammar, but he cannot speak. With a certain diligence and sociability, the possession of basic knowledge will allow you to communicate with the seller in the store or the staff in the hotel, but nothing more.

Advanced Elementary Level, 2 Upper-Elementary

A person at this level can speak using the simplest grammatical constructions. Vocabulary is limited to topics that were learned in the lessons, but this is already enough to support a conversation on a familiar topic. Although it is still difficult to express your opinion. It is possible to communicate at such a level if the person you are speaking speaks slowly and complements your words with gestures.

Just below mid-level, 3 Pre-Intermediate

Having knowledge of the language at this level, a person can keep up a conversation on a familiar topic with ease. He says that with almost no mistakes, the pace of speech is already pretty decent. But when communicating with native speakers, a difficult situation often arises. An English-speaking person decides that his interlocutor speaks well and begins to communicate in "normal mode", and here a person with a Pre-Intermediate level realizes that he still understands little, usually feeling awkward.

Intermediate Level 4 Intermediate

This is already good knowledge. A person can quite freely speak on everyday topics, knows grammar, can be explained in writing. Vocabulary is still, as a rule, low. This level allows you to take international IELTS tests at 4.5-5.5 points, and TOEFL - at 80-85.

Advanced Intermediate, 5-6 Upper-Intermediate

Upon reaching this level, a person can already go to university or work in a foreign company, if you do not need to communicate too much with clients. The test results are as follows: IELTS 5.5-6.5, TOEFL 100.
