This book introduces the theoretical and empirical bases for the
definition of language learning level in functional 'Can Do' terms
for the English Profile Programme, setting out the ambitions of the
Programme and presenting emerging findings. The English Profile
Programme is an elaboration of the performance level descriptions
of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)
that is concerned specifically with the English language. The CEFR
has become influential in building a shared understanding of
performance levels for foreign language learners. However, there is
a considerable gap between the broad descriptions of levels
provided, which covers a range of languages and learning contexts,
and the level of detail required for applications such as syllabus
or test design, which this volume addresses. With its combination
of theoretical insights and practical advice, this is a useful work
for academics, policy-makers, curriculum designers, textbook
writers, postgraduate students and examination board staff.
