Abstract:

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.
