Writing skills analysis has benefits for English Profile research

English Profile is currently studying written corpora to more specifically define how language is used at the six levels of the CEFR. The contextual parameters which affect writing ability have been described at each level and research teams are beginning to add exam rubrics (questions) to corpora so that, in time, they will be able to make correlations between what exams expect from learners, and the English they produce in response.

 

English Profile is a collaborative project between: University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations University of Cambridge Cambridge University Press University of Bedfordshire English UK British Council
