ACTFL Proficiency Scale
From Teflpedia
The ACTFL Proficiency Scale is a language proficiency rating scale produced by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.
Overview[edit | edit source]
This one has five main levels; Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Superior and Distinguished. Each of the first three main levels are further subdivided into three sublevels called low, mid and high,[1] thus giving a total of 11 divisions.
| Broad level | Specific level | Code |
|---|---|---|
| Novice | Novice-low | NL |
| Novice-mid | NM | |
| Novice-high | NH | |
| Intermediate | Intermediate-low | IL |
| Intermediate-mid | IM | |
| Intermediate-high | IH | |
| Advanced | Advanced-low | AL |
| Advanced-mid | AM | |
| Advanced-high | AH | |
| Superior | S | |
| Distinguished | D | |
The levels were described in ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines published in 1986,[2] 1999,[3] 2001[4] and 2012. The 2012 version remains in use.
