ENGLISH DEPARTMENT

The English Language Department offers a six-level intensive program for English as a Foreign Language. All six
levels (A1, A2, B1.1, B1.2, B2.1, and B2.2) are aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for
Languages Learning (CEFR). Levels A1 – B2.1 focus on building a solid foundation of English proficiency in all four
skills – listening, speaking, reading, and writing, whereas Level B2.2 increasingly focuses on the language skills,
critical thinking, and study skills required for being a successful undergraduate and graduate student in a university
setting where English is the language of instruction. The English Language Department uses a custom proficiency test
to determine the level of English proficiency of students and faculty according to the CEFR descriptors listed below.
These tests use the following grading scales: 0-30 = A1; 31-60 = A2; 61-79 = B1; 80-94 = B2; 95-110 = C1; 111-120
= C2.

phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type; can introduce him/herself and others and can
ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people he/she knows and things
he/she has; and can interact simply provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.

Level A2: The students can fulfill the following: can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to
