1 Use the CEFR framework

One of the most widely used frameworks for assessing and describing language proficiency levels is the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The CEFR divides learners into six levels: A1 and A2 (basic), B1 and B2 (independent), and C1 and C2 (proficient). Each level has a set of descriptors that outline what learners can do in different skills, such as reading, listening, speaking, and writing. You can use the CEFR framework as a reference to tailor your content to the appropriate level of your target audience. For example, if you are writing for beginners, you should use simple sentences, common words, and clear explanations. If you are writing for advanced learners, you can use more complex structures, idioms, and nuances.

To optimize content for different language proficiency levels, simplify language and sentence structures for beginners. Use clear headings, bullet points, and visuals to assist understanding. Incorporate glossaries or footnotes for unfamiliar terms. For intermediate levels, offer more detailed explanations while maintaining clarity. Provide supplementary resources for advanced learners. Tailor examples and analogies to resonate with each proficiency level. Regularly seek feedback and adjust content accordingly to ensure accessibility and effectiveness across diverse audiences.

2 Adjust your readability score

Another way to optimize your content for different language proficiency levels is to use a readability score. A readability score is a numerical measure of how easy or difficult it is to read a text, based on factors such as sentence length, word length, and syllable count. There are many tools and formulas that can calculate a readability score, such as Flesch-Kincaid, Gunning Fog, or SMOG. Generally, a lower score means a higher level of difficulty, and vice versa. You can use a readability score to check if your content matches the level of your audience, and make adjustments accordingly. For example, if you are writing for intermediate learners, you may aim for a score of around 60-70, which means that your content is fairly easy to read.

A coworker introduced me to Hemingway Editor, which provides a readability score by grade level. It also highlights specific words or sentences that affect the score due to difficulty, points out areas that go against best practice, and offers alternatives. Grammarly is another staple in our office, particularly for tone. These are excellent tools when you need to adjust your messaging and verbiage by audience. Using a readability score ensures you convey all of the information in such a way that it is also easily accessible.

Pour rendre ton contenu plus accessible, tu peux ajuster le score de lisibilité. Ce score te montre si ton texte est facile ou difficile à lire, en se basant sur la longueur des phrases, des mots et le nombre de syllabes. Il y a plusieurs méthodes pour le calculer, comme Flesch-Kincaid ou Gunning Fog. En gros, un score bas, c'est plus compliqué à lire. Un score haut, c'est plus simple. Si ton public c'est des gens avec un niveau intermédiaire, essaie de viser entre 60 et 70. Cela veut dire que ton texte sera assez simple pour eux.

3 Use plain language principles

Plain language is a style of writing that is clear, concise, and accessible to a wide range of readers. Applying plain language principles can make your content easier to understand and follow, regardless of the language proficiency level of the reader. This includes using short sentences and paragraphs, active voice instead of passive voice, simple words rather than jargon, slang, or acronyms, headings and subheadings to organize your content, examples, images, and diagrams to illustrate points, transitions and connectors to link ideas, and questions and feedback to engage readers.

Utiliser le langage clair, c'est écrire de manière simple et directe pour que tout le monde comprenne. Pour y arriver, utilise des phrases et des paragraphes courts, choisis la voix active, évite le jargon et les mots compliqués, et structure ton texte avec des titres. Ajoute des images ou des schémas pour expliquer tes idées, lie tes idées avec des mots de liaison, et n'hésite pas à poser des questions pour impliquer tes lecteurs. C'est super efficace pour rendre tes textes accessibles à tous !

4 Test and revise your content

To ensure your content is suitable, relevant, and effective for your audience, regardless of their language proficiency level, you should test and revise it. You can do this by asking native or non-native speakers to read it and give feedback, using online tools to analyze and suggest improvements, using translation software or services to see how it looks in other languages, and using metrics and analytics to measure its performance. Testing and revising your content is the best way to optimize it for different language proficiency levels.

Pour être s?r que ton contenu touche bien ton public, test-le et révise-le. Demande à des gens, qu'ils soient natifs ou non, de te donner leur avis. Utilise aussi des outils en ligne pour voir ce qui pourrait être amélioré, essaie de le traduire pour voir ce que ?a donne dans d'autres langues, et regarde les stats pour mesurer son impact. C'est comme ?a que tu pourras le rendre parfait pour tous les niveaux de langue.

If your audience has highly variable proficiency in your language, default to the lowest common denominator. Or rather, explain it simply. This will allow you to appeal to the larger audience, and also help you better connect with those whose primary language is your own. Simple is often better, anyway.
