Describing levels of language ability
The CEFR describes language ability on a scale of levels from A1 for beginners up to C2 for those who have mastered a language. This makes it easy for anyone involved in language teaching and testing (learners, teachers, teacher trainers, etc.) to see the level of different qualifications. It also means that employers and educational institutions can easily compare qualifications and see how they relate to exams they already know in their own country.
Cambridge ESOL and the CEFR
Cambridge ESOL was involved in the development of this standard. Brian North, one of the authors of the Framework, has said that:
'We're really at the beginning of the process of validating the claims which are made by the examination boards about the relationship of their exams to the Framework. There is a difference between having a very good idea of what the relationship is and confirming it. Cambridge ESOL is an exception, because there is a relationship between the levels in the CEF [Common European Framework] and the levels of the Cambridge ESOL exams.' (Interview with Brian North in ELT News, Feb 06.)
All of our examinations are aligned with the levels described by the CEFR.
