      Nacel English School London - English language levelIt’s no secret that English is the language of choice in business, technology and the Internet. Take an English level test and test your English proficiency. This will help you identify areas for improvement.

      The different levels of English

      Europe has its own Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR)
      for languages, which standardizes the different levels according to the learner’s speaking, listening and writing skills.

      This method has been used for decades in European countries, but other nations also use it to grade different levels of English proficiency. It is a very important standard that provides teachers, schools and companies with a more accurate way to assess a student’s or employee’s oral and written communication skills. Taking an English test will place you in one of these levels:

      • A1 and A2 – Basic User
      • B1 and B2 – Independent user
      • C1 and C2 – Competent User

      An A1 level of English would be sufficient for very simple interactions, for example as a tourist in an English-speaking country. An A1 level would not be sufficient for academic or professional purposes. According to the official CEFRL guidelines, someone with an A1 level of English can understand and use everyday expressions and very basic phrases intended to satisfy concrete needs. You can interact with other people in a variety of ways simple as long as the other person speaks slowly, clearly and is willing to help.

      At B1 and B2 level you can already talk to people in English about yourself, your opinions and ideas. You can read news in English and watch TV in English (with subtitles), but you don’t always know exactly how to say what you want to say.

      Level C is intended for users who are proficient in the language. A C-level speaker can understand complex, long and well-structured sentences. You can express your ideas and thoughts naturally and spontaneously. Uses the language fluently in everyday but also academic conversations. Students at level C1 have no need to search for appropriate phrases or expressions. They come naturally to them as they have it well incorporated.

      Why take a placement test in English?

      Taking an English test is useful because:

      • Helps determine the level of competence.
      • Selection of the most appropriate course according to your knowledge.
      • There is no possibility of suspension.
      • It is totally free of charge.
      • It is fast and accessible. You can do it from your computer.

      Take a free online English level test to assess your English proficiency

      The online placement test consists of 4 paragraphs with different themes. It also has a writing part in which you will have to write about your country or home, it has to be between 50 and 100 words. Once you have completed the test, you must send it and wait for the answer. Results come quickly.

      What to do once the level is known?

      Once you have received the result of your English test, you will be able to enroll in the English level that best suits your needs. Nacel English School offers different types of courses and possibilities for everyone.

      The school is very diverse and offers several categories:

      • General English courses.
      • Exam preparation.
      • Special courses.
      • Groups.

      The general English courses stand out for being the classic courses that you can find in any school. Depending on your needs, you can choose from weekend, evening, long-term, culture courses and online classes with native English teachers in London.

      Test preparation is for those seeking to validate and support the knowledge obtained. At the academy you can prepare for all Cambridge exams, KET (Key English – A2, elementary), PET (Preliminary English – B1, intermediate), FCE (First Certificate in English – B2, upper intermediate), CAE (Cambridge English Advanced – C1, advanced) and CPE (Cambridge English Proficiency – C2, proficient). In addition to: IELTS, BEC and English for University.

        Nacel is an exceptional school where you stand a good chance of brushing up on your English level. In fact, it's a big break for engaging with native English teachers and classmates all over the world. Teachers are always willing to clear up your doubts and they truly care about your progress with your English. Besides, you could go on outings alongside with the other learners and teachers which is a quite striking experience since you could hang out with foreign people while you learn more about British culture, customs and traditions. Therefore, I just want to thank all teachers (Anne-Marie, Jonathan, Tony and Nick),classmates and staff with whom I enjoyed meeting at Nacel as they really went a long way in boosting my confidence with English! So, if you are really into enhancing your English speaking, listening or writing, I recommend that you give it a shot at Nacel. It will undoubtedly be a remarkable life experience!

        I did a 6 week class back in 2016/1017 in preparation for the Cambridge Advanced Exam. Fellow students quick became friends and the time at the school was a great experience. I felt supported by the teachers and they could explain everything so well. I would recommend this school to everyone and I would go back there in a heart beat if I ever need to. Thank you Nacel, I miss you!

        The Nacel English School is fantastic and I really enjoy it. Last year I had pleasure to study there during three weeks. The English teachers are very good and kind also they have big skill to teach English. Now, in 2020, I’m whatching the live classes on social media and it’s great because I can learn more and review what I’ve learned 01 year ago. Thanks so much Nacel.

        I studied at Nacel 2 years ago and the school is amazing, with excellent teachers and staff. Surely having studied at Nacel made my exchange even better. And the live on instagram that Nacel is doing now has been very useful to continue learning. Thank you Nacel!!!

        I had a really good experience in this school. Today is my last day and I'm so impressed how my English has improved so much. All the teachers in this school are native English speakers. Maybe this is is the reason for my fast development and good pronunciation!

        It took me a while to decide which English school I wanted to go to because there are so many. Nacel English School had very good reviews so I thought I should go for this one. Indeed it is a great English school in London! My English improved much faster than I thought and the school has a great atmosphere. The teachers are very very nice, and they make the learning easy. The staff at the reception are always very helpful and made my stay in London much easier. I also like meeting people from around the world in the school, it’s easy to make friendships. I am very happy of my choice with this school.
