Negotiating
Explanation:
We do have a category in language teaching called "Negotiating" where the student learns how to "argue his/her case" in the target language. A fairly important aspect in business language skills!

On reviewing the question, I see that this is meant to indicate a skill level in contrast to None, Tourist, Knowledge, and Fluent. You may als consider "Interactive". "Can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party." .. taken from "Common European Framework" on http://www.avoin.helsinki.fi/open_university/language_skill_...
