At which stage of language acquisition are ELLs considered to have near-native abilities?

  1. Generalization

  2. Intermediate Fluency

  3. Advanced Fluency

  4. Speech Emergence

The correct answer is: Advanced Fluency

The correct choice identifies Advanced Fluency as the stage where English Language Learners (ELLs) demonstrate near-native abilities in their language use. At this stage, learners have usually acquired a high level of proficiency and can communicate effectively in complex and nuanced ways, similar to that of a native speaker. They can engage in discussions, understand idiomatic expressions, and use advanced vocabulary and structures with ease. This stage typically follows several earlier phases of language acquisition, which lay the foundation for this proficiency. Learners in the Advanced Fluency stage are also capable of adapting their language use to various contexts, showing adaptability and understanding of cultural nuances in communication.
