The correct answer is: Advanced Fluency

The stage characterized by English Language Learners (ELLs) having a vocabulary of around 6,000 words and the ability to ask for clarifications is Advanced Fluency. At this stage, learners have typically achieved a high level of proficiency in English, which allows them not only to understand complex concepts but also to use language in a nuanced manner. This includes the capability to engage in discussions, ask for clarifications when they encounter unfamiliar terms or concepts, and express their thoughts and ideas more effectively. For ELLs at this level, the vocabulary size supports their ability to engage in a wide range of topics and contexts, including academic and social discourse. Their command of the language enables them to participate in conversations with relative ease and confidence, further enriching their learning experience and interaction with peers and educators.
