Why CEFR for French learners?
Internationally recognised
Devised by the Council of Europe, the
framework has become the benchmark
for assessing linguistic ability throughout
Europe and much of the rest of the
world.
Standardised and structured
CEFR offers a standardised way of measuring
competency, regardless of the language in
question. It also distinguishes between
language learning activities, such as listening,
reading, speaking, writing and interpretation,
ensuring a rounded education.
Clear path to fluency
CEFR learners are divided into three levels,
with each level group having two sub-levels.
For example, level A1 is for beginners, while
level C2 represents mastery of the language.
You can manage and track your progress
easily.
