Methodology followed at LangÉcole®

We follow The Common European Framework of References for Languages(CEFR) levels objectives to reach the high proficiency level in the European languages that we teach. For other languages, we follow specific standard adopted by the various countries and institutions - e.g. HSK, JLPT, IELTS, PTE, TOEFL, SIELE, DELF, DELE etc.

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment, abbreviated as CEFR, is a guideline used to describe achievements of learners of foreign languages across Europe and, increasingly, in other countries. It was put together by the Council of Europe as the main part of the project "Language Learning for European Citizenship" between 1989 and 1996. Its main aim is to provide a method of learning, teaching and assessing which applies to all languages in Europe.

The Common European Framework divides learners into three broad divisions that can be divided into six levels; for each level, it describes what a learner is supposed to be able to do in reading, listening, speaking and writing. These levels are:

Level Group	A		B		C
Level Group Name	Basic User		Intermediate User		Proficient User
Level	A1 (A1.1 + A1.2)	A2 (A2.1 + A2.2)	B1 (B1.1 + B1.2)	B2 (B2.1 + B2.2)	C1 (C1.1 + C1.2)	C2 (C2.1 + C2.2)
Level Name	Breakthrough or Beginner	Way stage or Elementary	Threshold or intermediate	Vantage or upper intermediate	Effective operational proficiency or Advanced	Mastery or Native Level
LangÉcole Level Name	Basic	Intermediate	Advance	Expert - I	Expert - II	Expert - III
Description	Can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type. Can introduce him/herself and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people he/she knows and things he/she has.
