From UNL Wiki
FRAU (FRAmework of reference for UNL) is a guideline used to describe achievements of natural languages in relation to the UNL. It was inspired by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), and its main goal is to provide a method for assessing the availability and quality of natural language resources inside the UNL framework.
Reference Levels
FRAU divides languages into three broad divisions which can be divided into six levels:
- A Basic Level
- A1 Breakthrough or beginner
- A2 Waystage or elementary
- B Intermediate Level
- B1 Threshold or intermediate
- B2 Vantage or upper intermediate
- C Advanced Level
- C1 Effective Operational
- C2 Mastery
