"CAN DO" STATEMENTS - PROFICIENT USER

 
The following ‘can do’ statements can be used by the learner to self-assess their linguistic and competence level. These provide a guide of what the learner should be able to do depending on his/her CEFR level for each of the four skills of Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing.
 
Advanced (C1)

UNDERSTANDING

Listening: I can understand extended speech even when it is not clearly structured and when relationships are only implied and not signalled explicitly. I can understand television programmes and films without too much effort.
Reading: I can understand long and complex factual and literary texts, appreciating distinctions of style. I can understand specialized articles and longer technical instructions, even when they do not relate to my field.
 
 
SPEAKING
Spoken Interaction: I can express myself fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions. I can use language flexibly and effectively for social and professional purposes. I can formulate ideas and opinions with precision and relate my contribution skilfully to those of other speakers.
Spoken Production: I can present clear, detailed descriptions of complex subjects integrating sub-themes, developing particular points and rounding off with an appropriate conclusion.
 
 
WRITING
Writing: I can express myself in clear, well-structured text, expressing points of view at some length. I can write about complex subjects in a letter, an essay or a report, underlining what I consider to be the salient issues. I can select a style appropriate to the reader in mind.
 
 
 
Proficient (C2)

UNDERSTANDING

Listening: I have no difficulty in understanding any kind of spoken language, whether live or broadcast, even when delivered at fast native speed, provided I have some time to get familiar with the accent. Reading: I can read with ease virtually all forms of the written language, including abstract, structurally or linguistically complex texts such as manuals, specialised articles and literary works.
 
 
SPEAKING
Spoken Interaction: I can take part effortlessly in any conversation or discussion and have a good familiarity with idiomatic expressions and colloquialisms. I can express myself fluently and convey finer shades of meaning precisely. If I do have a problem I can backtrack and restructure around the difficulty so smoothly that other people are hardly aware of it.
Spoken Production: I can present a clear, smoothly flowing description or argument in a style appropriate to the context and with an effective logical structure which helps the recipient to notice and remember significant points.
 
WRITING
Writing: I can write clear, smoothly flowing text in an appropriate style. I can write complex letters, reports or articles which present a case with an effective logical structure which helps the recipient to notice and remember significant points. I can write summaries and reviews of professional or literary works.

  • The tutors teach at an understandable rate. not too fast or too slow. The materials are self-explanatory. I enjoy every class. Right now I am learning sentence building, positions of verbs and nouns in sentences in Deutsch (German) language. Ich besinne jede Klasse und mein Lehrer ist sehr gut.

  • At Lextorah, where I learnt French, my tutor, M. Phidias, was amazing and always so diligent in making sure my understanding was not shallow, but as deep as possible. All the exercises and assignments given are always systemically in line with the teaching to ensure full grasp of the language. The teaching mechanisms are up to date with excellent study materials such as textbooks and DVDs. I always felt so welcome when I arrived every day. Je Suis tres heureux mon Choix etait Lextorah, malheuresement il est seul cinq semaines.

  • Chinese class has been great, lots to learn and sometimes the thought of that makes it seem all too hard and impossible to learn but overtime with constant practice it started to make a whole lotta sense. i've been able to learn more of the greetings, numbers and ways of communicating basically and with more practice i'm certain Chinese would be more fluent for me, many thanks to Lextorah for this medium. xie xie, zaijian.
