Welcome to English Profile

A collaborative programme designed to enhance the learning, teaching and assessment of English worldwide.

The aim of English Profile is to create a ‘profile’ or set of Reference Level Descriptions for English linked to the Common European Framework (CEF). These will provide detailed information about the language that learners can be expected to demonstrate at each level, offering a clear benchmark for progress that will inform curricula development as well as the development of courses and test material to support learners, teachers and other professionals involved in the teaching of English as a foreign language.

This site is part of the collaborative process. It gives the background to the project and the partners involved, and provides a forum for the latest research. It also gives you the chance to take part. By becoming an English Profile Network Partner, you can play a crucial role in English Profile research. You can also register on this website to receive regular email updates relating to the programme, including information on resources, news and events. We hope you’ll join us.
