Many of my students have a wrong idea about what and how long it takes to be fluent. They think they will just be fluent when they achieve C2 that is mastery in the language. So my purpose here is to provide you and your students with a brief explanation on the topic.
According to this table (Common European Framework for Languages), there are six levels and there is also an expected score for Toefl and IELTS.
A1- basic user (you are studying the basic strutures of the language. Listening and speaking are limited to class situations.
A2- you already know how to communicate in the present, past and future. Your vocabulary is very limited, though. You are still a basic learner.
B1- Here you are already considered an Independent User of English. You can talk about several topics with retrictions in vocabulary and grammar irregularities. Your answer to questions are short and direct. Good news: now you already pursue the minimum to work in a bilingual environment.
B2- if you achieve this level, you are valued by employers. You can talk about several topics fluently but the vocabulary you use is still simple and can be improved.
C1- this is the level most students want to achieve. Here you are extremely valued by employers and you have what it takes to be a university student.
C2- this is mastery of the language and here you have full command of it. This level is required mostly for professional who want to be an English teacher.
My advice: never quit your studies before you achieve B2, so that you don't miss the fluency you have just acquired 😉😉😉
