Speaking
Advanced level English learners feel comfortable participating in
most everyday conversations and can express themselves with ease and
provide detail. They may feel challenged in situations where they are
called upon to speak in public, but feel capable of doing so. At work,
they can easily participate in every aspect of meetings, conference
calls, etc. Their pronunciation only rarely gets in the way of
comprehension.
Writing
English leaners at this level feel comfortable writing extended letters and e-mails, as well as writing business reports
and shorter essays. They may still need proof-reading help from time to
time, but are capable of complex structures and use a wide range of
linking language.
Reading
Learners at the advanced level enjoy reading extensively in their own
interests areas, and will sometimes read books in English for their own
pleasure. When they come across challenging vocabulary, they have
little problem in understanding the contextual meaning.
Listening
Learners can comprehend almost any conversation or entertainment
format. They only rarely have problems when listening to very topic
specific areas in which have little competence. They have no problem
understanding others in both one to one conversations, and in more
complex situations such as dinner with a number of friends, or business
meetings.
