Information about each task, text and item in the test is entered into the GRID by specifying their characteristics (e.g. text source, discourse type, estimated difficulty level, etc) from a range of options derived from the CEFR. The analyst must, however, be fully familiar with the CEFR in order to use the GRID effectively. For further guidance see familiarising yourself with the CEFR.
