What is Language Proficiency?

Language Proficiency is defined as "The independent use of language."

• Proficiency is measured by how well a person is able to understand and interact in language without foreknowledge of context.
• In language classes we measure proficiency at different levels.
  • Novice: Low, Mid, High
  • Intermediate: Low, Mid, High
  • Advanced: Low, Mid, High
  • Superior: Most students do not achieve this language level until university-level language classes.
