LS i-Level Descriptions i0: No Proficiency

Unable to speak the language in almost any context. Has essentially no functional communicative ability. Oral production is strictly limited to occasional isolated words.

i0+: Memorized Proficiency

Communication limited to isolated words and rote phrases.

14 | P a g e 6 4

Individuals at this level have very limited functional communicative ability to independently navigate any social or professional context. Oral production is strictly limited to occasional isolated words, generic greetings, phrases, or repetition of the interlocutor’s utterances.

Pronunciation errors may render even isolated words unintelligible. In terms of listening, they are unable to comprehend spoken language, except for perhaps identifying the language being spoken or catching a scattered, high-frequency cognate. Culturally, their language does not reflect awareness of basic communicative norms.

i1: Elementary Proficiency

Appropriate when only basic language ability is required to handle simple interactions, greetings, or basic logistical communication.

At this level, speakers can navigate predictable, highly contextualized daily tasks such as making simple purchases, ordering food, and engaging in brief social interactions. However, their oral communication relies heavily on assistance from an interlocutor, utilizing simple sentences and formulaic phrases. Speaking is marked by long pauses and hesitations. Pronunciation difficulties may render speech unintelligible, requiring the interlocutor to ask for clarification. They make frequent errors formulating novel phrases and questions. When listening, they can understand short, simple utterances and follow basic instructions, provided the speech is slow and consists of common phrases. Culturally, their language use demonstrates a minimal awareness of basic communicative norms, with frequent errors in communication beyond common rote phrases.

i2: Limited Working Proficiency

Appropriate when engaging in routine social or work-related conversations in the local language and the speaker must function in everyday professional interactions.

Speakers at this level communicate sufficiently in routine social and everyday professional and operational situations, deploying language that is effective for coordinating daily activities, conveying straightforward information, and handling minor disruptions. Their speech features basic grammatical structures and everyday vocabulary, though structural errors and vocabulary gaps occur across social and professional contexts. Speech is characterized by pauses and false starts but the intended message remains generally understandable to native interlocutors.

Pronunciation difficulties may render words unintelligible but rarely interfere with the interlocutor’s overall comprehension. In listening comprehension, they can follow the main points of routine workplace conversations, though fast speech or idioms cause them to lose track and ask for repetition or clarification. Culturally, their language use reflects an inconsistent command of communicative norms and an irregular control of register shifts.

i3: General Professional Proficiency

Appropriate when the speaker must conduct social and professional conversations, discuss policy, and engage substantively with host-country interlocutors.

Speakers at this level participate effectively in most social and professional interactions and in policy discussions in their field. They speak with sufficient structural accuracy to handle complex professional requirements. While their vocabulary is accurate for daily use and work in

15 | P a g e 6 4 their professional field, they rely on circumlocution to bridge occasional vocabulary gaps outside these contexts. Pronunciation rarely impedes communication. When listening, they consistently comprehend speech at a normal pace, though they may occasionally miss finer details during rapid speech or multi-party interactions. Culturally, their language use reflects a strong command of communicative norms and appropriate use of register, with only rare errors.

iAP: Advanced Proficiency

Appropriate in nearly all contexts in which the speaker must engage in the target language, particularly when discussing complex ideas in which high degrees of accuracy, precision, and vocabulary breadth and depth are required.

Speakers at this level demonstrate advanced communication skills across complex and sensitive topics in widely varied social and professional contexts. Their speech is fluid, characterized by a wide range of specialized vocabulary and complex sentence structures with negligible mistakes.

Pronunciation and intonation are highly accurate and consistently intelligible, utilizing native-like stress patterns for emphasis. In listening, they comprehend complex, culturally tailored speech across diverse topics, successfully navigating implicit meanings, rhetorical devices, and emotional nuances regardless of rate of speech or the number of speakers, with only sporadic misunderstandings. Culturally, their language use reflects consistent command of communicative norms and correct register across wide ranges of social and professional contexts, including unexpected situations and novel contexts. They are able to self-correct errors in culturally appropriate language use without interrupting the conversational flow or negatively impacting rapport with the interlocutor.

Plus levels (+) indicate achievement between i-levels.
