Preferred term

proficiency, fluency, and mastery  

Definition(s)

  • Proficiency, fluency, and mastery are some of the terms used to describe how well a person has acquired and is able to use a language. Agreeing on a definition of language mastery is important for second-language speakers because such a definition serves as a referent for measuring the progress and achievement of a language learner and also serves as a referent for defining who is a limited-English-proficient (LEP) speaker.
