The necessity to master foreign languages is evident in our
daily lives. Being skilled in one or two languages is an asset not
only for individuals, but also to a state level. The aim of
European policy is to be able to speak at least two languages other
than the mother tongue. Promoting linguistic and cultural
diversity, i. e. multilingualism, is an official and strategic
objective of the European Union. This article provides an overview
of European language policy by analyzing the documents Threshold

Learning, Teaching, and Assessment.
Keywords: Threshold Level; Common European Framework of
