CEFR and education

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is a system that measures and describes language proficiency levels across different languages. It helps learners, teachers, and institutions understand and compare language skills in areas like reading, writing, listening, and speaking. CEFR divides skills into six levels: A1 and A2 (basic), B1 and B2 (intermediate), and C1 and C2 (advanced). In education, CEFR guides curriculum design, assessment, and progression, ensuring standardization and clarity in language learning and certification across countries and institutions.
