Description

The Common European Framework is one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken in the field of language education. This book explains the background to the Framework, clarifies its contents, explores some of its possible implications, provides concrete examples of ways in which it has been used. Edited by Keith Morrow, it has contributions from practitioners in a range of contexts, all of whom draw on their own experience in working with the Framework.
