Tasks of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (GER)
The Common European Framework of Reference deals with the assessment of progress in learning outcomes regarding a foreign language. The aim is to make the different European language certificates comparable and to create a standard for acquiring language skills.
The levels of the GER
The basic levels are:
A: Basic user
B: Independent user
C: Proficient user
These are again divided into a total of 6 levels of language level:
A1- Beginner level
- Can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type.
- Can introduce themselves and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where they live, people they know, and things they have.
- Can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.
A2- Elementary level
- Can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment).

- Can describe in simple terms aspects of their background, immediate environment, and matters in areas of immediate need.
