The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)

The CEFR is a ref­er­ence text for all pro­fes­sion­als in the field of mod­ern languages.

It was con­ceived in 1997 at the ini­tia­tive of the Coun­cil of Europe to pro­vide a coher­ent basis, as com­pre­hen­sive as pos­si­ble, for the devel­op­ment of lan­guage pro­grammes and their eval­u­a­tion. It defines six increas­ing lev­els of lan­guage com­pe­tence from A1 to C2 with three inter­me­di­ate lev­els (A2+, B1+ and B2+).
