Understanding CEFR Language Levels: A Pshycholinguistic Study

\nThis research was motivated by the increasingly widespread discussion of CEFR lea rning methods as a reference for Arabic language learning in Indonesia. A language teaching framework must always be developed in such a way that learning objectives can be achieved. This study focused on the level of understanding rather than the CEFR. This study aims to provide additional insight into academic treasures by reviewing CEFR learning references from a Psycholinguistic point of view. In the psycholinguistic view, it is explained that there are two processes in the mechanism of language in humans, namely receptive and productive, the process of receiving speech and producing speech. At the receiving stage, there will be an understanding process which is categorized by the CEFR as a comprehension level stage consisting of two proficiency activities, namely listening and reading skills. The production process is categorized in the level of speaking and writing proficiency. In addition, the category of foreign languages such as Arabic in the acquisition of language from a psycholinguistic perspective is included in the category of second language acquisition, which is the language mastered by the speaker of a particular language after he has mastered the first language. The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach using document analysis or library research.\n
