EF English Proficiency Index

The website displays portions of the report and has analysis of English skills in many countries and territories.

[9] Below are the latest country scores, proficiency bands, and rankings as published in 2024.

The report and data sets were released for 13 European countries in June 2012.

[13] The EF English Proficiency Index has been the subject of criticism in literature.

[14] Moreover, the countries at the top of the rankings are often those whose official languages are gradually subject to 'domain loss' in favour of English, because they are being used less and less in scientific research, academic teaching and multinational corporations.
