REAL-CEFR: The Common European Framework for Languages: from theory to practice, Grenoble (France)
Seminar
Our objectives
Our seminar will enable participants to:
- update their knowledge of existing ways to put into practice the different aspects of the CEFR;
- reflect on new ways of using the CEFR in tune with the needs of practising teachers;
- get to know more about the new European Network of Language Teacher Associations (REAL).
Our approach
The seminar will be based on plenary conferences providing theoretical knowledge linked to workshops presenting concrete examples of classroom practice.
In addition to these more formal sessions, there will be a whole host of opportunities for informal networking and dialogue.
Participants will have the possibility to display disseminate material from the projects and association activities that they are already involved in. All sessions will provide adequate time for questions and answers.
