Final report
Publication metadata
The European survey on language competences (ESLC), the first survey of its kind, is designed to collect information about the foreign language proficiency of students in the last year of lower secondary education or the second year of upper secondary education in participating countries or country communities. The ESLC sets out to assess students' ability to use language purposefully, in order to understand spoken or written texts, or to express themselves in writing. Their observed language proficiency is described in terms of the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference (Council of Europe 2001), to enable comparison across participating educational systems. The data collected by the ESLC will allow participating educational systems to be aware of their students' relative strengths and weaknesses across the tested language skills, and to share good practice with other participating educational systems.
