Aligning CEFR to Practices: Action Research Steps

The CEFR & Language Portfolio (LP) SIG Forum will discuss how to align the CEFR to current practices for identifying needs of learners and teachers in the classroom by using an action research cycle. We will explain the outline of our new JSPS kaken research project which explicitly includes the SIG. We are looking for case studies in relation to the CEFR using action research. The CEFR & LP SIG AGM will be held after the Forum.

Academic Writing and Mediation: CEFR-Informed

After the explanation of the key (academic) writing concepts in context of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) and the concept of (language) “Mediation” (from the 2018 CEFR Companion volume, a download from the Internet is recommended) the workshop gives participants the opportunity to mediate concepts themselves or (in another group) to evaluate texts from students in order to familiarize teachers with mediation strategies.
