The French courses at 澳门六合彩开奖预测 are designed with the CLB and CEFR guidelines in mind.
The Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB)
The CLB are the national standard used in Canada for describing, measuring and recognizing the second language proficiency of adult immigrants and prospective immigrants for living and working in Canada. The Centre for Canadian Language Benchmarks promotes and supports the recognition and use of the CLB as a practical, fair and reliable national standard of second language proficiency in educational, training, community and workplace settings.
The CLB provide a descriptive scale of communicative proficiency in French as a Second Language, expressed as benchmarks or reference points. They cover four skill areas: reading, writing, speaking and listening, and use real life language tasks to measure language skills.

Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)
The CEFR provides a basis for the mutual recognition of language qualifications, thus facilitating educational and occupational mobility. It provides a practical tool for setting clear standards to be attained at successive stages of learning and for evaluating outcomes in an internationally comparable manner.
