CEFR-informed learning, teaching and assessment: A practical guide

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the CEFR Companion Volume (CEFR/CV), issued by the Council of Europe in 2001 and 2018, respectively, describe levels of English language proficiency as a common framework for the design of language syllabi, curricula, assessment tests, textbooks, and so forth across Europe.However, the CEFR has had a more profound impact than originally anticipated on teachers, learners and researchers from a diversity of linguistic and cultural backgrounds.Due to the sophisticated theoretical framework underlying it, the interpretation and implementation of the CEFR may be challenging to language teaching practitioners outside Europe, especially those who are English as a foreign language (EFL) learners themselves and are used to more traditional teacher-centered language teaching and learning.CEFR-Informed Learning, Teaching and Assessment: A Practical Guide, as the title suggests, systematically guides the reader through the three topics.
