The TELPAS proficiency levels are ordered as Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced, and Advanced High, with Advanced High representing the highest level of English proficiency.
Intermediate-level students can understand and use basic English, but they often need support to comprehend and communicate more complex ideas.
Beginning-level students are in the early stages of acquiring English and often require significant scaffolding and support to understand and produce the language.
Advanced-level students can engage in academic tasks and discussions with moderate support, as they have developed a strong grasp of English, though occasional assistance may still be necessary.
Advanced High-level students exhibit proficiency close to that of native English speakers, enabling them to perform well in both academic and social contexts with minimal support.
