CEFR Reflection Meeting

The CEFR & LP SIG organizes a CEFR Reflection Meeting on March 5th, 2024, from 2:30 pm to 4 pm online.

SIG members, JALT members and people interested in the theme are welcome. - SIG members will receive the Link directly. Non-SIG participants please use the contact email and you will receive the link.

At the meeting we will discuss the report of the CEFR Reflection Day:

The CEFR Companion Volume: Enhancing engagement in language education. Reflection Day. held on June 15th, 2023.

We will focus on theme 3 and 4, with a general discussion at the end.

- Theme 3: How do action-orientation, mediation and plurilingualism, interrelate and align with recent developments in language education

- Theme 4: How can the CEFRCV support the creation of (digitally-mediated) collaborative learning environments in the post-Covid context?

Further topics of the discussion could be: Assessment for Learning. Mediation. How to integrate CEFR concepts into the actual classes we teach. How to use CEFR ideas in our classes for improving our classes, and for the students improving their language learning.

The other suggestion is to learn and hear more about real-world applications of CEFR tools and materials with first-hand accounts and best practices on how educators are using them to enhance teaching, learning, and assessment at all levels.

This is a very good suggestion and fits with the plans we actually have for 2024, starting a webinar series, with each webinar focusing on a specific area or tool at a particular CEFR level. Let’s meet on March 5th and discuss the next steps.
