Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is a global standard for describing language proficiency. It assigns a six-point scale to language ability, ranging from A1 for beginners to C2 for those who have mastered a language. This allows anyone involved in language teaching and testing, such as teachers or students, to quickly determine the level of various qualifications. It also means that employers and educational institutions will be able to easily compare our credentials to those of other exams in their country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_did_the_CEFR_come_from\"><\/span>Where did the CEFR come from?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEFR was developed in the 1990s by the Council of Europe as part of a larger effort to promote collaboration among language teachers across all European countries. The Council of Europe also wanted to make it easier for employers and educational institutions to assess candidates&#8217; language skills. The framework is intended to be used in both classroom instruction and assessment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEFR is a collection of can-do statements that list the functions you will be able to perform using a foreign language at any given level of proficiency, rather than being tied to a specific test. \u00abCan produce simple connected text on topics that are familiar or of personal interest,\u00bb for example, is one of the levels B1 can-do statements. These can-do statements can be used by a foreign language teacher to evaluate you and design lessons to address the gaps in your knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_the_CEFR_important\"><\/span>Why is the CEFR important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Europe, the CEFR is increasingly being used to describe your level of proficiency in a foreign language, particularly in an academic setting. If you have studied more than one language, the CEFR is a convenient standardized way to present two or more languages on your CV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEFR is the European Union&#8217;s standard framework for school and university education and can be used without reservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_uses_the_CEFR\"><\/span>Who uses the CEFR?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEFR is widely used in language teaching, both in public schools and in private language schools. It has largely replaced previous leveling systems in foreign language teaching in many countries. Most European education ministries have an explicit CEFR-based goal for all students graduating from secondary school, such as B2 in their first foreign language and B1 in their second.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many European adults use standardized test scores, such as the CILS, CELI, PLIDA, to describe their Italian level when applying for jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEFR is also being adopted outside of Europe, with some individual countries in Asia and Latin America incorporating it into their education systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Different_CEFR_Levels\"><\/span>What are the Different CEFR Levels?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The six levels within the CEFR are&nbsp;<b>A1, A2, B1, B2, C1,&nbsp;and&nbsp;C2<\/b>. These six reference levels are widely accepted as the European standard for grading an individual\u2019s proficiency in around forty different languages.
