The language functions from Linguaskill are derived from the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR). Taking a look at the CEFR is a good idea as it can give you some perspective on what you are studying for.
Getting to know what language functions are on the exam is a great way to prepare since it will help you to organize your studying. You don’t want to spend time studying functions that aren’t on Linguaskill; it would be a waste of valuable time. At GlobalExam, our study materials and the study plan that we devise for you are based on the language functions that you will need to be ready for Linguaskill.
