EBAFLS – Building a European Bank of Anchor Items for Foreign Language Skills
Short description
Sweden (National Agency for Education and the GU Language and Literature Unit) are collaborating with seven other European countries in the EBAFLS Project, whose purpose is to create a bank of anchor items based on the levels in The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
The aim
The aim is for the items, which originate in the participating countries, to be put to use in increasing the comparability of language skills in different countries. In the present project, receptive skills in English, French, and German are in focus. The targeted level is B1 in CEFR, which roughly corresponds to Stage 4 in Swedish syllabuses.
