Language Levels
The ability to communicate effectively in English is a key factor for us at St George International and the English language level chart helps in many different ways:

It provides objective descriptions of what tasks can be performed at different levels of ability
- It helps us place you in a class at the right level when you arrive on your first day
- It helps you assess what you can do in the language at a particular level as opposed to what you know
- It indicates what examinations are available at what level
- It helps you define language objectives that you can aim for
Please note that some of our study programmes demand minimum levels of competence in English - the key in Language Level Chart indicates which courses may be taken at which levels. It is important that we determine your level of English before you enrol.
