The CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) provides a clear and practical way to understand how young learners progress in English. It describes what students can do at each stage of their language journey — from beginner to advanced.
Below are examples of the key English skills and abilities children develop at each CEFR level, showing how they grow in confidence, communication, and understanding as they move up through the levels.
• A1 (Basic User) - Introduces the foundations of English, including everyday grammar, essential vocabulary, and simple phrases. Students learn to understand and use familiar expressions for daily communication. Cambridge exams: A1 Movers and A2 Key for Schools (A2)
• A2 (Basic User) - Builds on A1 skills by improving comprehension of short texts and simple spoken English. Learners can communicate in everyday situations, talk about personal topics, and understand common classroom language. Cambridge exam: A2 Key for Schools.
• B1 (Independent User) - Enables students to manage practical conversations, describe experiences, and express opinions on familiar topics. They can handle most travel situations in English-speaking countries. Cambridge exams: B1 Preliminary and B1 Preliminary for Schools.
• B2 (Independent User) - Focuses on more complex ideas and fluent communication. Students can understand the main points of challenging texts, discuss abstract topics, and write clear, detailed texts. Cambridge exams: B2 First and B2 First for Schools.
• C1 (Proficient User) - Develops advanced language skills for academic, professional, and social use. Students can understand demanding texts, recognise implied meaning, and express themselves fluently and naturally. Cambridge exam: C1 Advanced.
• C2 (Proficient User) - Represents near-native fluency. Students can understand virtually everything they hear or read and express themselves precisely, confidently, and effortlessly in any situation. Cambridge exam: C2 Proficiency.
