A Review of the Research on the Level Alignment of the CEFR with the CSE in China -- Taking the Listening and Writing Skills as Examples
Abstract
This study probes into the level alignment of the CEFR listening and writing scales with the CSE listening and writing scales. The
research findings have shown that as far as the listening ability is concerned, CSE listening descriptors of a certain level tend to scatter at
several adjacent levels of CEFR listing scales, one of which is relatively more predominant. On the other hand, in terms of the writing ability,
CSE level 1 and level 2 correspond mainly to the CEFR level A1, level 3 to A2, level 4 and level 5 to B1, level 6 to B2, level 7 to C1, level 8
to C1 and C2, and level 9 to C2 and above.
