CEFR alignment

Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR)

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is an international standard for describing language ability. The CEFR scale describes levels of language proficiency from basic to full mastery. Having a standard scale of reference helps teachers, test-takers and employers to share a common understanding of different levels of language proficiency.
