The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) standardizes language proficiency across six levels, from A1 to C2. The B1 level is the third of these six, marking a significant step beyond basic communication and into independent language use. It is officially designated as 'intermediate' or 'threshold,' signifying a functional, but not yet advanced, command of a language.

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) defines A2 as a 'Basic User' level, signifying that a learner has progressed beyond the absolute beginner stage. The criteria for A2 level are based on the ability to handle simple, routine tasks and communicate on familiar topics, which is a crucial stepping stone in language acquisition.

Created in 1998 by the Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de Paris Île-de-France, the TEF is an internationally recognized French language test. The TEF measures a non-native speaker's competence in French for a variety of purposes, including immigration, citizenship, and higher education applications.
