Discover how we classify levels in Twenix and how to progress in your learning journey!
When you register on the platform, the first session to complete is our welcome lesson, "Hello Twenix!".
Like the rest of our lessons, it lasts 26 minutes and will help you familiarise yourself with our teaching method, as well as allowing one of our teachers to assign you the level most suitable accordint to your English-speaking abilities and knowledge.
These levels are grouped into a series of stages that mark progression within Twenix, corresponding to the CEFR framework*:
- Foundation Stage (A1): F1, F2, F3, F4
- Seed Stage (A2): S1, S2, S3, S4
- Early Stage (B1): E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6
- Growth Stage (B2): G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, G8
- Expansion Stage (C1): Ex1, Ex2, Ex3, Ex4, Ex5, Ex6, Ex7, Ex8
*The Twenix methodology is based on the training and improvement of communicative skills, so its connection to the CEFR framework is only indicative.
Below, we describe the criteria we use to assign levels and what the skill and expressive capacity requirements are for each level:
LEVEL FOUNDATION 1-2: I can say hello and goodbye, and I can introduce myself. I can use simple words and phrases about things around me and my daily life. I know some words but I often need to ask what words mean.
LEVEL FOUNDATION 3-4: I can ask and answer simple questions about myself and everyday life. I'm able to understand and use familiar everyday expressions and basic phrases. I can talk about what I like and don't like using simple words.
LEVEL SEED 1-2: I can participate in very simple conversations on familiar topics, but I speak with short sentences and mostly in the present. I struggle to find the right words and need to improve my pronunciation.
LEVEL SEED 3-4: I can participate in simple conversations on familiar topics, but I speak with short sentences and mostly in the present. I use a limited vocabulary, but I can reproduce some sounds and words accurately.
LEVEL EARLY 1-2-3: I can engage in simple conversations on familiar and daily topics, tending to use short sentences and repeat the same information. I describe my past experiences simply and speak about the future with difficulty, but my speeches are understandable.
LEVEL EARLY 4-5-6: I can confidently engage in simple conversations on familiar and daily topics. I describe my past experiences specifically and speak about the future with ease. I try to give longer answers with shorter and less hesitant pauses, and my speeches are clear and understandable.
LEVEL GROWTH 1-2-3-4: I can take part in extended conversations on a range of familiar topics and express opinions clearly. I manage to keep the conversation going naturally, even if I sometimes need to reformulate or search for words. I use a variety of vocabulary and structures, though with occasional mistakes or hesitation. I can deal with everyday situations and some less familiar ones, provided the topic is within my experience.
LEVEL GROWTH 5-6-7-8: I can express myself clearly and in detail on a wide range of topics, including less familiar or abstract subjects. I can take an active part in discussions, supporting my views and responding to others naturally. I use a broader range of language with more accuracy and flexibility, though small errors may still occur. I can adapt my language to different situations and manage some nuance in tone or meaning.
LEVEL EXPANSION 1-2-3-4: I can easily engage in any type of conversation fluently and try to use native speaker lexicon. I use a wide vocabulary, and my pronunciation is very clear, with a slight influence from my mother tongue.
LEVEL EXPANSION 5-6-7-8: I can confidently engage in any type of conversation fluently and use native speaker lexicon naturally. I use extensive vocabulary, and my pronunciation is very clear, with almost no influence from my mother tongue.
