Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is a widely recognized framework used to assess and describe language proficiency levels in a consistent manner across Europe and beyond.
Developed by the Council of Europe, the CEFR provides a common basis for the teaching, learning, and assessment of languages. It divides language proficiency into six levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2, with each level representing a specific set of skills and abilities.
The CEFR describes proficiency in terms of four main skills: listening, reading, speaking, and writing. It also emphasizes the importance of cultural understanding and the ability to interact effectively in multicultural contexts.
