Subject:Needs studies relating vocab to proficiency levels

Dear colleagues,

I am looking for studies that have researched the Arabic proficiency levels
(ACTFL or CEFR) from the standpoint of vocabulary frequency and type of
lexical forms expected to be known by learners of AFL at each proficiency
level.

Whether the statistical research is based on Parkinson's corpus, other
Arabic corpora, or the frequency dictionary published by Buckwalter &
Parkinson, I would like to know if there is an estimated number of lexical
forms and/or a vocabulary frequency list expected to be known by learners
of AFL at each proficiency level.

You help is much appreciated.
