At Olé Languages we teach within the CEFR, the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment. The CEFR is a guideline used to describe achievements of learners of foreign languages across Europe. It was established by the Council of Europe as the main part of the project "Language Learning for European Citizenship" between 1989 and 1996.
The Common European Framework divides learners into three broad divisions and each division into two sub categories. The six reference levels are becoming widely accepted as the standard for grading an individual's language proficiency.
