OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCES BETWEEN ACTFL AND CEFR RATINGS AND ACTFL ASSESSMENTS
Based on extensive research and linking and validation studies, CEFR ratings can be assigned on ACTFL assessments, in all languages. Please note that these are one-directional correspondences. To date, no CEFR-based test, or other international test not developed by ACTFL, has been linked to the ACTFL Framework. For a current list of tests that may be rated according to the ACTFL Framework.
