All your language skills = The Language CV!
What is it?
As part of your Language Profile, you can compile a Language CV to make visible your language skills and international competence. The Language CV functions as a reporting tool of the Language Profile: It is a summary of your language skills and international competence in the language profile. Thus, the Language CV offers you the opportunity to demonstrate your language skills more extensively than in a traditional CV when applying for a job or further studies.
What should the Language CV include?
In your Language CV, you should
- assess your knowledge of different languages in accordance with the CEFR
- give a verbal description of your language skills.
For example, you can describe how you use different language outside of school, as well as language skills you have acquired outside of school. You can also add links to samples and certificates in your Language CV, for example, audio files, videos, podcasts or text in the target language.
What tools should be used to compile a Language CV?
Our goal is to produce a nationwide tool for compiling a Language CV. For more information, see the pilot version of the Language CV, published in late 2021 (link at the end of page).
Before the national tool is published, we recommend using the following types of templates for your Language CV. For example, a language resume might look like this:
