Language Proficiency - Proficiency Frameworks

Proficiency Frameworks

Note that test scores may not correlate reliably, as different understandings of proficiency lead to different types of assessment:

  • FSI Test (Foreign Service Institute) Scores range from 0 to 5+. (deprecated)
  • Interagency Language Roundtable Scores range from 0 to 5. (evolved from FSI)
  • Language Proficiency Index
  • ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines ACTFL recognises ten different levels of proficiency: "novice", "intermediate", "advanced", and "superior", of which the first three are each subdivided into "low", "mid", and "high".
  • Common European Framework of Reference for Languages CEF recognises six levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2.
