Pre-Course AssessmentCopy
THERE is not a one-size-fits-all approach to measuring English language proficiency. However, one widely used proficiency scale is the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which uses levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2,), that designate how fluent or proficient language learners are in their target language. Below you will find a pre-course assessment that attempts to gauge your CEFR level using the skills required of language learners. Actual tests that measure English proficiency levels are listed in the references section.
