The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, teaching, assessment (CEF) of the Council of Europe is being used in many different ways in many different educational contexts around the world, but it was never intended to tell teachers what to do or how to do it. As the authors of the CEF point out, its objective is to raise questions, not to answer them. It is intended to be a document for reference. The most well-known part of the CEF is the scale which describes a learners language proficiency. There are six points on this scale (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2) and these range from low-level beginner to a very sophisticated language learner with a level that is approximately equivalent to the Cambridge Proficiency examination, for example.
Where appropriate, We have tried to indicate the approximate generic and common european FrameWork levels For many oF our courses, next to the book title.
