English Profile is a groundbreaking collaborative research program, registered with the Council of Europe, that is working to provide a detailed set of Reference Level Descriptions for English. These RLDs will provide concrete examples of the competencies laid out in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), clearly describing what a learner of English can be expected to know at each level.

By providing descriptions of the grammar, vocabulary and functions required at each level, English Profile will provide a clear benchmark for progress that takes account of the complex interactions between English and the learners' mother tongue.

English Profile can play a vital role in the production of resources for the development of curricula, word lists, course materials and teaching guides, delivering materials of practical use for learners, teachers and, indeed, any professionals involved in language learning.
