Through its unique set of so-called descriptors
and can-do statements, the CEF level system is
uniform for all significant European languages.
For the first time, multinational organizations
have a reliable tool to compare language skills
across different languages and in different territories.
For example, the level A1 in French is directly
comparable with the level A1 in English.
The CEF provides six precisely defined competence
levels ranging from basic user to near native
speaker level. The framework was developed by
the Council of Europe with the purpose of measuring
foreign language skills efficiently on a Europe-wide
scale valid for all European languages.
The Common European Framework comprehensively
describes
- the competencies necessary for communication
- the related knowledge and skills
- the situations and domains of communication
The framework is of particular interest to course
designers, textbook writers, testers, teachers
and teacher trainers - in fact, to all who are
directly involved in language teaching and testing.
It facilitates a clear definition of teaching
and learning objectives and methods, and provides
the necessary tools for assessment of proficiency.
dp is the only provider of a complete
language learning solution, comprised of a placement
test, language learning software, online support
and live training, all of which are aligned to
the CEF.
