General Information on the level of EXAVER 1

       General Information on the level of EXAVER 2

EXAVER Level 2 is a proficiency examination in General English, which is not intentionally related to any particular course syllabus. It follows the general principles and standards of The Council of Europe’s Threshold 1990 document. These standards coincide with ALTE Level 2, and are similar to those required by UCLES at Preliminary English Test Level. The general performance expectations of a candidate for the EXAVER Level 2 exam include the ability:

“to ask questions and to provide information, to elicit opinions, views, preferences, and to express them, to refer to past, present and future events, to express reasons why and conditions under which something may happen and to understand others doing so, etc. Also, they will have to be famliar with certain social conventions and common assumptions inherent in manners of expression in the English Language, and they will need to be aware of how cultural differences may be reflected in communicative behaviour.”

 

General Information on the level of EXAVER 3

The performance expectations of a candidate for the EXAVER Level 3 are supposed to correspond to ALTE 3 which, in turn, derives from the Council of Europe’s Vantage Level as expressed in its document Vantage 2001. At this level learners are able to cope with transactional situations in everyday life, and are able to deal with these when they are problematic or take an unexpected direction. They are thus able to ask for repetition, clarification and explanation in these unpredictable transactions. They can also analyze people’s opinions and argue for or against them, summarize discussion, express conclusions and explain reasons for maintaining or altering their own arguments, on the basis of reading or discussion.
