Abstract:

This book presents the background to the current shift in language education
towards action-oriented/action-based teaching, and provides a theorization of
the Action-oriented Approach (AoA). It discusses the concepts and theories
that paved the way for the AoA and explores their relevance for the way
language education is conceived and implemented in the classroom. In the
process, it revisits the concept of competence and discusses the dynamic
notions of mediation and plurilingualism. The authors explain the way in which
the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and its recent
update, the CEFR Companion Volume, broaden the scope of language education, in
particular in relation to the actional turn. The book provides scholars and
practitioners with a research-informed description of the AoA, explains its
implications for curriculum planning, teaching and assessment, and elaborates
on its pedagogical implications.
