Our study presents an ongoing project on corpus linguistics held at the University of Cádiz (UCA) which tries to identify discourse proficiency of B1, B2 and C1 CEFR levels in the CLEC (CEFR-Labeled English Corpus) with a corpus-based quantitative and qualitative approach. The CLEC is a corpus of CEFR-labeled texts developed using CEFR-labeled teaching materials. The softwares AntConc, TagAnt and USAS have been used to analyze data. Comentario [S1]: Elsevier to update with volume and page numbers.

In this paper we describe the CLEC corpus, an ongoing project set up at the University of Cádiz with the purpose of building up a large corpus of English as a 2L classified according to CEFR proficiency levels and formed to train statistical models for automatic proficiency assessment. The goal of this corpus is twofold: on the one hand it will be used as a data resource for the development of automatic text classification systems and, on the other, it has been used as a means of teaching innovation techniques.
