English A2 level - CEFR definition and tests | EF SET (2024)

The official can-do statements are broken down into smaller pieces for teaching purposes. This more detailed skill breakdown can help you assess your own English level, or help a teacher assess a student’s level. For example, a student at the A2 level in English will be able to do all the things that a student in level A1 can do, and in addition he will be able to:

• evaluate coworkers' performance in the workplace.

• relate events from your past, including your weekend activities and interesting stories.
