ql-align-justify">I consider the application of British Council English as innovative. It is an official learner app where it targets all the macroskill of the students who are registered in the application. There are two versions of the applications made also by the British Council. One is the British Council English which provides exercises, lessons, and courses. It also books and manages your English lessons, whether you prefer it to be online or in-person. You can also track your progress and collect your awards and once you complete all the lessons and exercises, you will receive a certificate to the course or courses that you finish. This certificate is beneficial as it you can put it on your resume or if you want to be an English teacher, this certificate can also be considered as your English proficiency certificate, which verifies your skill in English.

There is also another version of the application that is created by the British Council, and this is the English Score. This application will test your skill and proficiency, however this can also be your practice app. It literally manages the English lessons and has online exercises available. This application is testing the macroskill and the English proficiency of the student registered. There are a lot of features in this app, it will provide you with a test that measures your grammar, vocabulary, reading, listening and speaking skills. After completing the test, it will provide you with the result of your test.

It will show you the level of your English proficiency through the base of CEFR levels, from A1 the lowest level to C2 the highest level. A1 means beginner and can only understand and use basic phrases, we also have A2 which mean pre-intermediate, B1 for intermediate, B2 for upper-intermediate, C1 for advance, once you acquire C1 it means you have a wide range of understanding in complex topics, and lastly for the highest level C2 proficient, this level means you have the same level of a native speaker in both personal and professional contexts.
