Abstract:

This book delineates a range of linguistic features that characterise the
reading texts used at the B2 (Independent User) and C1 (Proficient User)
levels of the Greek State Certificate of English Language Proficiency exams in
order to help define text difficulty per level of competence. In addition, it
examines whether specific reader variables influence test takers’ perceptions
of reading comprehension difficulty. The end product is a Text Classification
Profile per level of competence and a formula for automatically estimating
text difficulty and assigning levels to texts consistently and reliably in
accordance with the purposes of the exam and its candidature-specific
characteristics.
