What is the CEFR?
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), developed by the Council of Europe, describes language proficiency through what learners can do. Its six main levels run from A1 to C2.
Why it matters for teaching
Clear goalsFocus on communication skills learners can demonstrate.
A progressive pathwayUse a shared reference to set goals and choose suitable learning activities.
A common language for progressDiscuss proficiency across languages, classes and schools with the same framework.
European roots. Worldwide relevance.
The CEFR was developed in Europe, but it is used in Canada and other parts of the world. Its practical value travels: it describes what learners can do with a language, wherever they learn it. For teachers, that means a shared reference for communication goals and proficiency, rather than relying only on labels such as “beginner” or “intermediate”.
CEFR can complement local curricula. Schools may also use other frameworks, such as ACTFL in the United States; requirements depend on the education system.
A shared focus: language learners who can communicate.
CEFR and ACTFL both focus on what learners can do with a language. For teachers using ACTFL goals, that emphasis on practical communication makes CEFR-based learning relevant: understanding others, expressing ideas and taking part in real-life exchanges.
Smash brings those teaching priorities into a full curriculum. Carefully sequenced missions build vocabulary and sentence skills into role-play and conversation, with differentiation options and progress reports to guide your teaching. CEFR and ACTFL use different proficiency scales.

CEFR and exam practice: how do they connect?
The CEFR is a learning and assessment framework. DELF and DELF Prim are official French-language diplomas; DELF Prim is designed for younger learners. Smash offers French CEFR programs with DELF and DELF Prim practice, plus a CEFR-based Spanish program with DELE practice. Official diplomas are awarded through the relevant examination process.
