C1

El nivel C1 corresponde a usuarios competentes con el idioma, es decir, capacitados para tareas complejas de trabajo y estudio.

 

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. 

​

COMPETENCIAS DEL NIVEL C1

​

Una de las preguntas que quizás te plantees al leer esta información es, ¿qué competencias lingüísticas caracterizan a una persona que certifica tener un nivel de inglés C1? El MCERL define las siguientes:

​

  • Es capaz de comprender una amplia variedad de textos extensos y con cierto nivel de exigencia, así como reconocer en ellos sentidos implícitos. 

​

  • Sabe expresarse de forma fluida y espontánea sin muestras muy evidentes de esfuerzo para encontrar la expresión adecuada.

​

  • Puede hacer un uso flexible y efectivo del idioma para fines sociales, académicos y profesionales. Puede producir textos claros, bien estructurados y detallados sobre temas de cierta complejidad, mostrando un uso correcto de los mecanismos de organización, articulación y cohesión del texto.

COMPRENSIÓN ORAL

    explicitly.
