Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE), also known as the Certificate in Advanced English (CAE), is an international English language examination developed by Cambridge English Language Assessment (previously known as University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations). It is targeted at Level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)〔() http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/images/139661-cae-information-for-students.pdf Retrieved 7 February 2014〕 and can be used for study, work and immigration purposes.〔Hawkey, R, Milanovic, M, (2013) Cambridge English Exams – The First Hundred Years: A history of English language assessment from the University of Cambridge 1913–2013, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 110–113.〕 ==History== Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) was first developed in 1991 in response to feedback received from language centres that there was too great a gap between Cambridge English: First (FCE) and Cambridge English: Proficiency (CPE). Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) was designed to allow learners to gain certification for advanced levels of English suitable for use in academic and professional life and was developed using a socio-cognitive approach – that is, it encourages languages skills for use in real-life situations. Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) is focused on Level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).〔() http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/exams-and-qualifications/advanced/research/ Retrieved 7 February 2014〕 Following the launch of the exam in 1991, the qualification was updated in 1999, 2008 and 2015 to reflect changes in language teaching and assessment. 〔() http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/images/24935-cae-guide-for-stakeholders.pdf Retrieved 7 February 2014〕 In January 2015, another set of revisions were introduced. The main changes are: the overall exam is now 45 minutes shorter; there are four exam papers, instead of five; the Reading and Use of English papers have been combined into a single paper; and there are some new testing focuses and task types. Further information can be found in the revised (Exam Specification ). In addition, a new way of reporting results has been introduced (effective from January 2015), with Cambridge English Scale scores replacing the standardised score and candidate profile used for exams taken pre-2015. The Cambridge English Scale was developed to provide exam users with more detailed information about their exam performance than was previously available.〔http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/exams/advanced/exam-update-for-2015/ Accessed 18 January 2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
