The CEFR Levels
Some of the instruments produced within the Council of Europe have played a decisive role in the teaching of so-called “foreign” languages by promoting methodological innovations and new approaches to designing teaching programmes, notably the development of a communicative approach. They have facilitated a fresh approach to communicating these teaching methods in a manner potentially more conducive to operational appropriation of unknown languages. By thus identifying language needs, they were able to pinpoint the knowledge and know-how required for attaining this communication “threshold. The CEFR organises language proficiency in six levels, A1 to C2, which can be regrouped into three broad levels: Basic User, Independent User and Proficient User, and that can be further subdivided according to the needs of the local context.

Pilgrims English Language Courses - 2021 University of Limerick Update
Dear Teachers, As we write, Ireland has still a tight quarantine protocol in force and it is unclear when this is lifted. Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for the University of Limerick to operate and host us on their campus, so regrettably, we are having to cancel our summer programme. Please understand that we are very upset by this: we are truly sorry to have kept you waiting, and apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
