Abstract
With the introduction of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) in 2015, Malaysia experienced another English language-in-education policy reform at all levels of education. Its institution into the Malaysian scene has enthused much attention in the Malaysian educational setting at all levels. As is the case, the Malaysian higher education scene is not spared from the enthusiasm of its insertion into tertiary level. Such is because its timely introduction into Malaysian higher education has brought with it concerns that necessitate addressing; namely its European nature, and guiding framework. Furthermore, issues enveloping the CEFR illustrative scales development, and deciphering also present a case worthy of investigation. This conceptual paper attempts to evaluate the concerns based on reviews of related existing literature. The paper will conclude with a proposal of recommended research on CEFR illustrative scales at Malaysian higher education level.
