CLB experts and advisers conducted ongoing reviews during the revisions. The validation process consisted of three phases. In the first phase, CLB experts carried out a detailed review of the revised document to ensure that it was consistent with the theoretical framework it shares with the French equivalent of the CLB, the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (NCLC) . In the second phase, the document underwent a process of fine-tuning to eliminate any inconsistencies with the common theoretical framework.  \nThe third phase began with the development of communication samples for the four language skills. The Listening samples (audio and video recordings) and the Reading samples (texts and documents) were produced by CLB experts with reference to criteria and descriptors in the revised CLB document. Speaking samples (recorded conversations with ESL speakers) and Writing samples (communicat","cbCais966sxMUGhQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais966sxMUGhQ","pdf",8594496,290,"English","# Background\n# I.
