Pathways Through Assessing, Learning and Teaching in the CEFR

teacher educators looking for user-friendly and flexible resources to help them design training modules on the fundamental concepts of the CEFR in general and on assessment in particular; language teachers wishing to increase and deepen their knowledge of the CEFR and to acquire more confidence in their assessment practice; stakeholders faced with integrating assessment practices in line with the CEFR into the school curriculum. ôPathways" presents an innovative way of approaching the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and of reflection on the multi-dimensionality of assessment. The two main component of ôPathwaysö û guide and kit - integrated by indexes, grids, mind maps and examples of scenarios, encourage users to work in a non linear way and to select and customize. The guide addresses those fundamental concepts in the CEFR that may not be readily transparent and that especially warrant ôunpacking" for educational practices in a way that is clear and accessible for professionals, both in their pre- and in-service teacher education. The kit offers 107 worksheets in English and French (on the CD-Rom), which serve as a bridge for teacher educators, and teachers, to reflect on these concepts and to relate them appropriately to pedagogical practices.
