B1

El nivel B1 corresponde a usuarios independientes con el idioma, es decir, que cuentan con la fluidez necesaria para comunicarse sin esfuerzo con hablantes nativos. 

 

Es importante recordar que el Marco Común Europeo de Referencia para las Lenguas (MCERL) es el sistema que define y explica los diferentes niveles de expresión y comprensión oral y escrita para lenguas como el inglés. Comprende 6 niveles de referencia: tres bloques (nivel básico o A, independiente o B y competente  o C), que se dividen a su vez en dos subniveles, 1 y 2. 

​
