How to Find & Filter CEFR Content


Do you use the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) standards in your classroom? Our lessons will now display a CEFR-equivalent level if you set this level preference in your account settings. See the step-by-step instructions below.

The CEFR equivalencies on Ellii are based on our in-house scale and are subject to change. This scale is also useful for teachers who recognize other levels or standardized tests.
