What is CEFR?
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages:
CEFR is a guideline formed by the Council of Europe for the learners of foreign languages across Europe and outside. It was mainly designed guided learning hours with a specific assessment pattern for language Learning for European Citizens between 1989 and 1996.
Its main aim is to provide a method of learning, teaching and assessing which applies to all languages in Europe. In November 2001, a European Union Council Resolution recommended using the CEFR to set up systems of validation of language ability. The six reference levels (see the table) are becoming widely accepted as the European standard for grading an individual’s language proficiency.
