Viwango vya Kiingereza

Wakati wa kuchagua nyenzo za kufundisha au kusoma, inasaidia kuelewa viwango tofauti ambavyo wanafunzi wa Kiingereza wameainishwa, na wewe au wanafunzi wako mpo katika kiwango gani.

Viwango hivi vimeonyeshwa hapa chini. Piramidi hutumiwa mara nyingi kwa sababu kuna watu wengi zaidi wanaosoma katika viwango vya chini vya Kiingereza kuliko vile vya juu.

Piramidi hii inaonyesha viwango vya kisasa (CEFR) (A1 – C2), na viwango sawa vya jadi/kitambo vimeonyeshwa upande wa kulia:

CEFR inasimamia Common European Framework of Reference (Mfumo wa Marejeleo wa Kawaida wa Ulaya) kwa ajili ya lugha, mfumo ambao umeundwa katika Ulaya ili kutumika kwa idadi kubwa ya lugha, ikiwa ni pamoja na Kiingereza, Kifaransa, Kihispania na Kijerumani.

Kumbuka: Beginner (level) imeongezwa na watayarishaji wengi wa vitabu vya kiada katika miaka ya hivi karibuni. Imeundwa kwa ajili ya wanafunzi ambao wanaweza kuhitaji maandalizi kabla ya kusoma Elementary (level). Sababu za hii zinaweza kujumuisha (i) kutofahamu kabisa Kiingereza, (ii) kuzungumza lugha tofauti sana na Kiingereza na/au kutumia alfabeti tofauti na (iii) kuwa na ugumu wa kuendana na kasi ya kozi Elementary.

Advanced (2) ni kiwango ambacho kwa ujumla husomwa na wataalamu wa lugha kama vile watafsiri na walimu wa lugha. Ni kiwango ambacho wazungumzaji wengi wa kiasili hawajafikia.

Makala hii ina viungo vya kufanya majaribio ya mtandaoni bila malipo ambapo unaweza kujua kiwango chako cha Kiingereza.

(Kiingereza.com inaangazia zaidi Kiingereza cha Uingereza. Ikiwa unahitaji kujua viwango sawa vya Kiamerika (Marekani hutumia kipimo tofauti), makala hii (kwa Kiingereza) ni muhimu.)

English Levels

When choosing materials for teaching or study, it helps to understand the different levels English learners are categorised into, and which level you or your students are at.

These levels are shown below. A pyramid is often used because there are many more people studying at the lower levels of English than the higher ones.

The pyramid shows the modern (CEFR) levels (A1 – C2), with the equivalent traditional levels shown on the right:

CEFR stands for the Common European Framework of Reference for languages, a system that has been designed in Europe to be applied to a large number of languages, including English, French, Spanish and German.

Note: Beginner level has been added by many textbook producers in recent years. It is designed for students who may need some preparation before studying Elementary level. Reasons for this may include (i) Being completely unfamiliar with English, (ii) speaking a language very different to English and/or using a different alphabet and (iii) having difficulty keeping up with the speed of an Elementary course.

Advanced (2) is a level only generally studied by language professionals such as translators and language teachers. It is a level many native speakers have not attained.

This article contains links to free online tests where you can find out your level of English.
