Spanish Language Levels
In IL Spanish, our proficiency levels are in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), is a guideline used to describe achievements of learners of foreign languages across the world.
The CEFR divides learners into three broad divisions (A, B, C) that can be divided into six levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2); for each level, it describes what a learner is supposed to be able to do in reading, listening, speaking and writing.
Besides, we follow the guidelines of Instituto Cervantes. The institution is the largest organization in the world responsible for promoting the study and the teaching of Spanish language and culture, organize the Diplomas of Spanish as Foreign Language exams (DELE) and develop the CEFR specifically to the Spanish language.
Additionally, the IL Spanish 6 levels correspond exactly to the U.S.A. University System, so that you may receive credits from your home school.
