TORFL (Testing of Russian as a Foreign Language) is an internationally accredited test of proficiency in Russian. It is established as a part of the Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE) and is accepted world-wide as a proof of one’s knowledge and linguistic skills in the Russian language.
The LSE Language Centre, working in partnership with the State University of St Petersburg, is the only accredited Centre in the UK.
Currently the TORFL system consists of six levels of proficiency that correspond to the framework of the European Language Council (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2). Each comprises five modules testing linguistic skills in speaking, listening, reading, grammar and vocabulary, and writing. A pass grade in the test for each level requires a minimum score of 66% for each module (within this overall percentage a minimum of 60% is permitted in one of the component modules).
TORFL Examinations are open to external candidates during examination sessions normally held during the second week of March each year.
