The Common European Framework divides learners into three broad divisions that can be divided into six levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2).
For each level, it describes what a learner is supposed to be able to do in reading, listening, speaking and writing.
Level A (Basic user)
is divided into 2 sub-levels: A1 (Breakthrough or beginner) and A2 (Waystage or elementary).
Level A1 (Breakthrough or beginner):
- Can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type.
- Can introduce themselves and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people they know and things they have.
- Can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.
Level A2 (Waystage or elementary):
- Can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment).
- Can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters.
- Can describe in simple terms aspects of their background, immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need.
- Can read and write short and simple texts, various everyday use materials (menus, schedules, forms, invitations, very simple personal letters).
