The CEFR and the Global Scale of English
• The Global Scale of English extends the
CEFR to enable a more granular
measurement of learner progress
• Hundreds of additional research-validated
learning objectives have been added to the
GSE.
• Over 50 descriptors have been added
below A1.
• The new learning objectives were vetted by
a large pool of teachers to create a scale
that is reflective of the needs of English
language learners around the world.

Introducing the Teacher Toolkit!
The GSE Teacher Toolkit gives teachers fast access to the Global Scale of English
Learning Objectives, grammar and vocabulary in a single searchable database to:
• Plan curricula, courses and lessons
• Create assessments and learning materials that are at the right level for their
students
• Understand what their students should be learning at each CEFR/GSE level
• Align their own materials to the GSE Learning Objectives
• Give feedback to students and parents
• Create admin reports

At Level 51
• Probability of demonstrating a skill
valued at level 51 on the GSE is 50%.
• The lower the skill, the higher the
chance a student can do it.
• The higher the skill, the lower the
chance a student can do it.

Improve alignment of
course materials to
published learning
outcomes

Adopting the GSE…
Measuring progress – Japan universities
Several universities in Japan have adopted the GSE to
keep their students motivated in improving their English
throughout the year.
Problems
• Previous English assessments didn’t measure the four
skills – or the enabling skills (Vocab/grammar) - Kobe
International University
• It’s not easy to motivate and identify student weaknesses
– need a new way to measure English - Setsunan
University
• Need to be able to integrate all skills in English to make
communication successful - Kobe Gakuin University

Using the GSE at
Japanese Universities
Solutions
• Introduced the automated, online
Progress test – 3 tests per year
• Can be taken in or out of the
classroom – flexible for students and
teachers
• Instant score report gives detailed
feedback in 7 categories – enables
teachers to quickly build a plan and
students to quickly focus on what to
improve
Student feedback
“After I got my score report, I realized
my vocabulary level wasn’t really high,
so now I am concentrating on that.”

I would like to make a fun activity to
challenge my learners.

Process
Using the Global Scale of English Teacher Toolkit I can
look for speaking skills a LITTLE above my student
level.
This will challenge my students.
It will also inspire creative ideas.

Problem Solving
DISAPPEARING LANGUAGESProblem:Language is the soul of a culture. The survival of a culture may depend on the language used for rituals and to describe cultural ideas, beliefs, and understandings. What is the impact on culture when its language disappears? By some estimates, of the six thousand languages left on Earth, 90% are expected to disappear or be endangered before the end of this century. Will anyone be able to read the rich literature embodied in the disappearing languages in the years to come? What can governments, institutions, and communities do to preserve endangered languages?
