Teaching and learning the English language need to focus on the learners; therefore, as teachers, giving the range of materials and creating the study programs must be based on learners' ability to receive the learning progress in accordance. So, by revealing learners' abilities, teachers can organize their syllabus, material levels, quizzes, and other programs properly. CEFR is a British Council assessment used to know learners' abilities in several languages, including English. In this paper, we use EnglishScore android application to assess the learners' abilities based on CEFR scales. There are five categories of CEFR level scales that the learners of Universitas Universal academic year 2021-2022 provided: C1, B2, B1, A2, A1- using EnglishScore android application for assessment.
