Evaluate Your Language Proficiency
The Global Seal of Biliteracy has developed free adaptive language proficiency self-assessments based on can-do statements from two major proficiency scales. These can-do statements are reflective of an individual’s language ability based on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) Levels and the ACTFL Levels of Language Proficiency.
The Global Seal of Biliteracy extends our deepest gratitude to Avant Assessment, our founding sponsor whose unwavering support has been instrumental in propelling our mission forward. From the outset, Avant Assessment recognized the transformative potential of language certification, aligning themselves wholeheartedly with our mission to support linguistic diversity and provide a consistent and equitable measure of language proficiency. Their generous contributions have not only provided essential financial support but also served as a beacon of inspiration for the international language education community.
We extend an invitation to all who share our commitment to multilingualism and the ability to share and leverage language skills for academic or professional purposes. Your support, whether through financial contributions, volunteerism, or advocacy, is vital in sustaining our efforts and amplifying our impact. We hope you join our collective journey towards meaningful linguistic empowerment.
