PERTEMUAN 10 CEFR

Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ​​(CEFR) is the European general framework of reference for languages ​​covering learning, teaching and language assessment issues. The CEFR is a guideline used to describe the achievement of foreign language students across Europe. At present, the use of CEFR has begun to expand to various countries outside Europe, including Colombia, the Philippines, China, Japan, countries in West Asia and Southeast Asia (Muliastuti, 2017: 31). It was put together by the Council of Europe as a major part of the "Learning Citizenship Language for Europe" program which was originally a project circa 1989–1996. Its main aim is to provide a method of learning, teaching and assessing applicable to all languages ​​in Europe.

Language users can develop different levels of competence in each domain, and to help define them, the CEFR has provided a set of General Reference Levels. The reference level generated by the CEFR is currently used by teachers of foreign languages ​​(read: German and French) at educational institutions and education personnel (LPTK) in Indonesia to be referred to as a reference in learning. The guidebook for teachers using the CEFR states that the CEFR functions (1) as a tool to measure the level of ability of foreign language learners, (2) to make foreign language learning systems more transparent at the international level, and (3) to learn foreign languages ​​in society. multilingual. To carry out this function, the CEFR divides the ability of foreign language learners into three major levels, namely A, B, and C. Then each of these levels is divided into A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2.
