Beskrivning
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and its Companion Volume have established themselves as an indispensable reference point for all aspects of second and foreign language education. This book discusses the impact of the CEFR on curricula, teaching/learning and assessment in a wide range of educational contexts, identifies challenges posed by the Companion Volume and sheds light on areas that require further research and development. Particular attention is paid to three features of the two documents: their action-oriented approach, their focus on plurilingualism, and the potential of their scales and descriptors to support the alignment of curricula, teaching/learning and assessment. The book suggests a way forward for future engagement with the CEFR, taking account of new developments in applied linguistics and related disciplines.

Recensioner i media

The authors of the different chapters are experienced users of the CEFR who provide a wide range of contrasting and complementary perspectives. Their contributions demonstrate the open, dynamic nature of the reference instrument, and while the book adopts a positive approach to the CEFR and the CV, the authors also point to issues that require further work. This publication is a timely reminder of the challenges in implementing plurilingual and intercultural education and the further potential of the CEFR and CV in that regard.
