Language Proficiency Scales

Language Proficiency Scales are systems that measure a person's ability to use a language. They typically range from basic understanding and communication to advanced mastery. These scales help assess skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Common frameworks include the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), which categorizes proficiency into levels from A1 (beginner) to C2 (near-native). These scales assist educators, employers, and learners in identifying strengths, needs, and appropriate learning goals in language acquisition. Ultimately, they provide a standardized way to evaluate and communicate one’s language abilities.
