A framework for progress, not a stopwatch.

Placement and teacher assessment determine your starting point and progression. A billing term does not guarantee completing a level. Each level includes listening, speaking, reading, writing, interaction and reflection, with 25-, 45- or 60-minute session plans and practice between classes.

About the Council of Europe’s CEFR

Understanding other proficiency frameworks

CEFR is our main pathway. ACTFL and ILR offer other ways to describe language skills; these lists are not a level-for-level conversion or an official certification.

ACTFL · five major levels

Novice: Use learned words and phrases in familiar everyday exchanges.
Intermediate: Create original messages and manage familiar practical communication.
Advanced: Narrate, describe and handle complications in connected communication.
Superior: Discuss abstract ideas, support viewpoints and explore unfamiliar issues.
Distinguished: Communicate with precision, cultural awareness and rhetorical flexibility.

ILR · six base levels, 0 to 5

Level 0: No functional proficiency
Level 1: Elementary proficiency
Level 2: Limited working proficiency
Level 3: Professional working proficiency
Level 4: Full professional proficiency
Level 5: Functionally native proficiency

ILR also includes “plus” levels. Descriptors differ by skill; level 5 describes functionally native performance, rather than a learner’s nationality or background.
