<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US">Language teaching in the 21<sup>st</sup> century has been characterized not only by innovation in teaching practices but also by the use of the broader
<i>standards </i>(also labeled as frameworks or benchmarks) as a basis for the development of language curricula and course syllabi, the design of teaching guidelines, the elaboration of teaching materials, and the assessment of language proficiency. Also,
the use of standards<i> </i>offers a “metalanguage” facilitating the discussion of second language teaching and learning processes among the stakeholders. However, for a host of social, cultural, educational, and political reasons, rather than adhering to
a single framework, different parts of the world facing high demand for foreign/second language training have developed different national frameworks of reference.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US">One such national framework, developed in Canada, is the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB)/<i>Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens</i> (NCLC). Since the creation of the CLB/NCLC in
2000, and following their subsequent updates and validation in 2011, and 2012, a range of teaching tools, materials and online resources have been developed to support the practical application of the benchmarks by the practitioners for teaching and assessment
of English and French in Canada. Nevertheless, the CLB/NCLC remain widely unknown to the majority of practitioners and policy-makers outside the immigration sector, and, despite the growing need, their use is not prevalent within and across different educational
contexts and levels of the Canadian system. There is a need for a deeper understanding of the Canadian national frameworks among applied linguists, educators, and all stakeholders in the field of language teaching and assessment.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-US">In this special issue, we will examine the conceptual and practical issues in the use of the CLB/NCLC, and their significance for teaching and assessment at different levels and in various
educational, workplace, professional, and immigration/settlement contexts. We invite data-based (qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods) research studies, or theoretical articles (in English or French) with clear implications for practice. The topics include,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span lang="FR" style="color:#212121">L’enseignement des langues au XXIe siècle est caractérisé non seulement par des innovations pédagogiques, mais aussi par l’usage des
<i>normes</i> (également appelées cadres ou références) comme fondement pour l’élaboration du curriculum et des directives dans le développement des cours de langues, l’élaboration de matériel pédagogique et l’évaluation des compétences linguistiques. De plus,
l’utilisation de ces normes offre une dimension « métalinguistique » qui facilite ainsi la discussion autour des processus d’enseignement et d’apprentissage de la langue seconde parmi plusieurs parties prenantes. Toutefois, pour diverses raisons sociales,
culturelles, éducatives et politiques, plutôt que d’adhérer à un cadre unique, différentes régions du monde confrontées à une forte demande de formation en langues étrangères/secondes ont mis au point différents cadres de référence nationaux.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="FR">Parmi ces cadres nationaux se trouvent les
<i>Canadian <span style="color:#212121">Language Benchmarks</span></i><span style="color:#212121"> (CLB)/Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (NCLC),
</span>conçus a<span style="color:#212121">u Canada. Depuis la création des CLB/NCLC en 2000 et après leur mise à jour et leur validation ultérieures en 2011 et 2012, une gamme d’outils pédagogiques, de matériels de soutien et de ressources en ligne a été développée
pour soutenir l’application pratique de ces critères de référence par les praticiens qui s’en servent pour l’enseignement et l’évaluation de l’anglais et du français au Canada. Néanmoins, les CLB/NCLC restent largement méconnus de la majorité des praticiens
et des décideurs en dehors du secteur de l’immigration et, malgré le besoin croissant, leur utilisation n’est pas répandue à travers différents contextes éducatifs dans le système canadien. Or, on p</span>erçoit
<span style="color:#212121">un grand besoin de mieux comprendre ce cadre national par les linguistes spécialisés, les éducateurs et tous les intervenants dans le domaine de l’enseignement et de l’évaluation des langues.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span lang="FR" style="color:#212121">Dans ce numéro spécial, nous examinerons les problèmes conceptuels et pratiques liés à l’utilisation des CLB/NCLC et leur importance pour et dans l’enseignement et l’évaluation
