English Profile is a collaborative programme designed to enhance the learning, teaching and assessment of English worldwide. Its aim 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 what learners 'can do' in English 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 gives the background to the project and shows you how you can take part. By contributing data to our corpus, you can play a crucial role in English Profile research. You can also sign up to our newsletter and receive regular email updates relating to the programme, including information on resources, news and events. We hope you’ll join us.
