About
It was developed by the Council of Europe and has become widely used in language teaching and assessment. The CEFR provides a common language for discussing language ability across different languages and countries, allowing learners, teachers, and employers to understand and compare language skills. It is divided into six levels, ranging from A1 (beginner) to C2 (advanced), and describes the different skills and knowledge that learners should have at each level. The CEFR also provides descriptors for each level, outlining what learners can do in terms of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. This framework has had a significant impact on language education and assessment, and has been adopted by many educational institutions and language programs around the world.
