CEFRniveau

CEFR niveau refers to a level within the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. This framework is an international standard for describing language ability. It is used across Europe and increasingly around the world to assess and compare language proficiency. The CEFR divides language learners into six levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2. Each level represents a progressively higher degree of understanding and ability in speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

A1 is the most basic level, indicating a user can understand and use familiar everyday expressions. A2 allows for communication in simple and routine tasks. B1 signifies a user can understand the main points of clear standard input and deal with most situations likely to arise whilst travelling. B2 indicates a user can understand the main ideas of complex text, interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity. C1 users can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and express themselves fluently and spontaneously. C2 represents mastery, indicating a user can understand with ease virtually everything heard or read.

These CEFR niveaux are widely used by educational institutions, examination boards, and employers to gauge language skills. They provide a common language for describing what a learner can do with a language, irrespective of the specific language being learned. This standardization facilitates mobility and communication among language learners and users globally.
