A1 English level (elementary)
English level A1 describes basic users of the language. Learners at this level can communicate in everyday situations with common expressions and elementary vocabulary. The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is the system that defines and explains the different levels of oral and written expression and comprehension for languages, including English. There are six levels of reference, divided into three blocks: basic user for levels A1 and A2, independent user for B1 and B2 and proficient user for C1 and C2.
