Canadian Language Benchmarks 2000: Theoretical Framework

The Canadian Language Benchmarks 2000: Theoretical Framework is a companion document to the CLB 2000.

This document provides a more in-depth study of the CLB 2000. It provides an overview of the CLB including:

  • global profiles of Benchmarks 1 to 12
  • theoretical background
  • rating scales
  • glossary of terms
  • bibliography
  • In order to make the CLB 2000 a practical, usable document, the competencies and standards had to be considerably compressed and simplified. Much of the in-depth discussion of language ability or proficiency omitted from the CLB 2000 has been included in this document.
