English language proficiency according to CEFR

The CEFR, the Common European Framework of Reference, is an established framework with level descriptions for the learning, teaching, and assessment of modern foreign languages. The goal of the CEFR is to enable the comparison of language proficiency levels."

The CEFR distinguishes six language competency levels: A1 - A2 - B1 - B2 - C1 - C2.

Skills, according to the CEFR, include listening, reading, writing, speaking (monologues), and having conversations (dialogues).

Subskills include, among others: reading instructions, listening as part of a live audience, creating reports and essays, creative writing, informal conversations, public speaking, and meetings.

Supporting activities encompass learning grammar, spelling, and expanding vocabulary.
