CEFR is a framework that describes what a user can do with the language. It is an internationally recognized standard that makes it easier for students, teachers, educational institutions and future employees to understand the capabilities obtained and expectations expected for each CEFR level.
Malaysian government based their English reform plan on CEFR guidelines, drawing ideas on English language teaching and learning from the popular European framework. Malaysia hopes that by adopting CEFR into their syllabus, their students are recognized at internationally accepted English levels of proficiency.
