TELC English B2-C1 University is a standardised, dual-level examination which measures language competence across two levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) using a task-based, communicative approach.
The word "University" in the title indicates the target group for which the examination has been developed. Young adults who have already started their studies or who are just about to enter further education can use telc English B2-C1 University to test and demonstrate their competence in English in a broad, academic context.
The examination contains a variety of tasks to assess learners 1 reading, writing, speaking and listening skills at levels B2 and C1. Both candidates who are still at B2 level and those who have reached C1 level have the chance to complete the examination successfully. All candidates will receive a breakdown of their skills for three separate areas: 1. Speaking; 2. Writing; 3. Listening / Reading / Language Elements, as well as the overall level they have achieved.
Speakers of English at C1 level - and to a lesser degree at B2 - are in a position to study through the medium of English because they can understand linguistically demanding input they have heard or read, speak fluently on complex subjects and write clear, well-structured texts of an academic nature.
