Le volume complémentaire du CECR : un outil pour la formation des enseignant·e·s de langues étrangères

The seventh workshop of CEFR Online Workshop Series 2022 entitled "Le volume complémentaire du CECR : un outil pour la formation des enseignant·e·s de langues étrangères" took place on Thursday, 6 October 2022.

Initial and in-service training for foreign language teachers must take into account developments in language education and didactics, so that teaching leads to learning that enables learners to develop operational communicative skills. Since its publication in 2001, the CEFR has played an important role in the creation and implementation of training activities. Through presentations and discussions, the workshop explored the development possibilities opened up by the publication of the CEFR Companion volume.

The workshop was facilitated by Rosanna Margonis-Pasinetti. Ms Margonis-Pasinetti is a graduate of the University of Geneva and the Séminaire pédagogique du canton de Vaud. She has taught languages to adults and adolescents for many years and has been involved in teacher training for over 20 years. She is currently a member of the Teaching and Research Unit Didactics of Languages and Cultures at the HEP Vaud and a teacher trainer in the didactics of Italian as a foreign language. Her research and development interests focus on the actional, plurilingual and intercultural dimensions in language teaching, as well as on language policy instruments.

The working language of the workshop was French.

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, teaching, assessment – Companion volume broadens the scope of language education, reflecting academic and societal developments since the CEFR publication in 2001. It presents the key aspects of the CEFR for teaching and learning in a user-friendly form and contains the complete set of extended CEFR descriptors, replacing the 2001 set. These now include descriptors for mediation, online interaction, plurilingual/pluricultural competence, and sign language competences. The illustrative descriptors have been adapted with modality-inclusive formulations for sign languages and all descriptors are now gender-neutral.

This publication marks a crucial step in the Council of Europe’s engagement with language education, which seeks to protect linguistic and cultural diversity, promote plurilingual and intercultural education, reinforce the right to quality education for all, and enhance intercultural dialogue, social inclusion and democracy.

The new version updates and extends the CEFR 2001, which was designed to provide a transparent, coherent and comprehensive basis for the elaboration of language syllabuses and curriculum guidelines, the design of teaching and learning materials, and the assessment of foreign language proficiency.
