Cutting EDGE is aligned to the Global Scale of English

The Global Scale of English is the first truly global English language standard, allowing teachers to more accurately and easily measure learner progress.

Based on research involving over 6000 teachers from more than 50 countries, it extends the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) by pinpointing on a scale from 10 to 90 what needs to be mastered for the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing within a CEFR level, using a more granular approach.

Specific GSE resources help teachers select the right learning objectives, grammar and vocabulary required for learners to move onto the next level.

It's a more effective way of selecting the right lesson, course materials or assessment at the right time.
