The Global Scale of English (GSE): Research-backed and trusted
Pearson English's suite of tools and assessments are built on the Global Scale of English (GSE), a standardized, granular scale which measures English Language proficiency. The GSE is a research-backed framework trusted worldwide.
Developed with insights from over 50 countries and 6,000 educators, it provides precise progress tracking and
personalized teaching guidance, to help learners achieve grade-level English proficiency.
The GSE is designed to motivate learners by accurately demonstrating step-by-step progress and helping match a learner to the right course materials to suit their exact level and learning goals. The GSE is mapped to state standards, including WIDA. This alignment helps educators integrate Pearson's tools into their existing curriculum.
