During this research-based workshop, you will be invited to design and reflect on the use of CEFR for your targeted students in terms of accessibility, feasibility, benefits and challenges.
This workshop aims to promote the good practice of using CEFR (Common European Framework for Reference), the most widely used framework for language assessment, in language teaching, drawing upon key findings of a completed project funded by British Council.
