The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment, abbreviated as CEFR, is a conceptual framework created in Europe (and adopted in Colombia), which provides standards for Learning, Teaching and Assessment of languages.
The objectives of the CEFR are:
Further intensify the learning and usage of languages as a means to facilitate international communication.
Promote and facilitate cooperation of educational institutions in different countries.
Provide a sound basis for the mutual recognition of language qualifications.
Assist learners, teachers, course designers, examining bodies, and educational administrators to situate and coordinate their efforts.
Una de las finalidades del Marco de referencia es ayudar a los usuarios a describir los niveles de dominio lingüístico exigidos por los exámenes y programas de evaluación existentes, con el fin de facilitar las comparaciones entre distintos sistemas de certificados. Con este propósito se han desarrollado el esquema descriptivo y los niveles comunes de referencia.
