These are the Council of Europe\u2019s Framework of Reference for language levels, which aim to give a coherent and standardised idea of someone\u2019s level in any language. The levels start at A1, which is a beginner to C2, which is basically someone who has a native or near-native level of mastery.<\/p>\n

The CEFRL levels are an extremely useful tool to describe someone\u2019s language level. Teachers use them to assign levels to people and you can also do tests which will give you a certificate of your CEFR level. Pipplet FLEX does this for example, which is the test we use for CPF training.<\/p>\n

The French government aims for students taking the Bac to have a B2 level in English, but in reality, most students who take the French Bac have an A2 level , unless they have come from international or European sections (which is not very good when you think that Swedish students are leaving school at C1 level!) If you want to graduate from an engineering school, you need a B2 level.<\/p>\n

Here is an overview: [IMAGE]
\no know more about the what exactly each level represents,\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The levels are quite wide, so within one level you can find a lot of difference. B1 level for example, covers a big plateau. You also have to remember that the levels are not exact for every skill: someone can be a B2 in speaking, but a B1 in writing.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look a little closer at each level:<\/p>\n
