LANGUAGES IN
EDUCATION, LANGUAGES FOR EDUCATION
|
A platform of resources and
references
for plurilingual and intercultural education
|
| |
 |
 |
|
After
producing reference documents such as the Common
European Framework of Reference for Languages
taught as “foreign” languages, the Council of
Europe’s Language Policy Division proposes a new
instrument, in the form of this Platform, enabling
member states to benefit from the experience and
expertise of other member states in formulating
their programmes relating to languages of schooling
and all language teaching.

| The chart below illustrates the different statuses
of languages in school and the relations among them:
the languages taught are first or second/foreign
languages for learners; they are studied as a
specific subject
or or serve as an instrument of learning in other
subjects. |
|
|
|
The purpose
of the Platform is notably to offer reference
tools that can be used to analyse and
construct curricula for languages of
schooling which are
- taught
as subjects in their own right, for
example, Polish in Poland, Swedish in
Sweden, German in the schools of the
German minority in Denmark etc)
- and used
for the teaching of other subjects
(maths, biology, history, geography
etc), such as Swedish in Sweden etc, or
regional or minority languages in some
education systems.
The Platform offers an open and
dynamic resource, with system of
definitions, points of reference,
descriptions and descriptors, studies and
good practices which member states are
invited to consult and use in support of
their policy to promote equal access to
quality education according to their needs,
resources and educational culture. These
documents, which differ in their status,
will be put on line gradually.
