The Certificate of Galician Studies (CELGA) () is a standardised proficiency test for the Galician language. The various levels of the CELGA (1–5) align with Common European Framework of Reference levels (A2–C2). 3,863 people took the CELGA exam in 2012. It is organised by ''la SecretarĂa General de PolĂtica LingĂĽĂstica'', a part of the Galician government.

Common European Framework Of Reference For Languages
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment, abbreviated in English as CEFR or CEF or CEFRL, is a guideline used to describe achievements of learners of foreign languages across Europe and, increasingly, in other countries. The CEFR is also intended to make it easier for educational institutions and employers to evaluate the language qualifications of candidates for education admission or employment.

The Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE) is an association of language exam providers in Europe.

The ALTE project also gave its own names to the CEFR levels from the "Breakthrough level" to "Level 5". The ALTE was founded by the University of Cambridge in conjunction with the University of Salamanca so the first exams to be related to their "Can-Do" statements were the Cambridge EFL exams. However, today many more examining boards link their exams to the system. Below is a table of some examinations as an example. ALTE now establishes a six-level framework of language examination standards. The follo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
