Using the CEFR: Principles of Good Practice 

What [the CEFR] can do is to stand as a central point of reference, itself always open to amendment and further development, in an interactive international system of co-operating institutions ... whose cumulative experience and expertise produces a solid structure of knowledge, understanding and practice shared by all.

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, teaching, assessment (CEFR) was created by the Council of Europe to provide ‘a common basis for the elaboration of language syllabuses, curriculum guidelines, examinations, textbooks, etc. across Europe’ (2001a:1). It was envisaged primarily as a planning tool whose aim was to promote ‘transparency and coherence’ in language education. 

These descriptors can apply to any of the languages spoken in Europe, and there are translations in many languages.

 As a global organisation we at the GrowSkills appreciate the significance of the CEFR. Our websites and teacher resources are global and need the structure and definition provided by the CEFR to make our work more coherent.

Applying, and where needed adapting, the CEFR to their own teaching approach is an important competence for teachers, and for many teachers extra training, resources and support are needed to make this successful.

The CEFR is useful to you if you are involved in learning, teaching or assessing languages. It is based on Cambridge ESOL’s extensive experience of working with the CEFR over many years.

The CEFR is a comprehensive document, and as such, individual users can find it difficult to read and interpret. The Council of Europe has created a number of guidance documents to help in this interpretation. Helping you find your way around the CEFR and its supporting documents is one of our key aims in creating Using the CEFR: Principles of Good Practice. If you want a brief overview of the CEFR read Section 1 of this booklet. If you are a teacher or administrator working in an educational setting and would like guidance on using and interacting with the CEFR then reading Section 2 will be useful to you. If you want to find out about how Cambridge ESOL works with the CEFR then read Section 3. Each section is preceded by a page that signposts key further reading.

GrowSkills is committed to providing quality education to candidates and students using the finest traditions of European education. Develop your Education level and acquire the language. In GrowSkills, we offer courses that help you improve your language skills through a set of interesting and enjoyable activities, which will be used in producing correct grammatical structure used in every communicative aspect of life.
