The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)<\/h2>\n

The CEFR<\/strong> divides language skills into individual levels and specifies which criteria someone must fulfil in order to attain a certain level. It was developed at the suggestion of the Council of Europe.<\/b> The German translation was presented simultaneously with the English original at the European Day of Languages 2001 in Lund (Sweden).<\/p>\n

How are language skills classified?<\/h2>\n

There are three levels overall: basic (A), independent (B) and proficient (C) language user. Each language level is subdivided into two competence levels. The classification refers to the four sub-qualifications reading comprehension<\/b>, listening comprehension<\/b>, writing<\/b> and speaking<\/b>. Eurotext specializes exclusively in translation, so we place the greatest emphasis on reading and writing comprehension<\/strong> at the appropriate levels.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

What is the Framework for Reference used for?<\/h2>\n

The division of language competence into three language levels is used in many areas: for example, on school-leaving certificates, in job-related language training or in integration courses, for au pairs or for family reunification of non-German nationals. The CEFR helps to test and objectively assess language skills.<\/p>\n

Where does the Framework for Reference apply?<\/h2>\n

The Framework for Reference was developed by the Council of Europe and is therefore valid in all EU countries. However, it is also used outside the EU, e.g. in Egypt, Japan, Canada, Korea, Colombia, and the Philippines.<\/p>\n<\/div>
