In the council of europe 's unit/credit system, the T-Level is the ‘lowest level of foreign-language ability to be recognised’ (van Ek, 1975: 8). For the common core of this level, van Ek produced a syllabus inventory which has come to stand as a model for inventories associated with notional/functional syllabuses .
