Innovative methodologies and assessment in language learning

A Cooperation agreement between the European Centre for Modern Languages of the Council of Europe and the DG Education and Culture of the European Commission.

Overview
Call for workshops
in 2022

What is it about?

This ninth year of cooperation builds upon the successful implementation of a work programme which focuses on agreed priority areas in language education for the Council of Europe and the European Commission. The specific purpose of this action is to support the linguistic integration of children with a migrant background and to achieve good quality and comparability in language testing and assessment.

This action involves two initiatives:

  1. Supporting Multilingual Classrooms - find out more
  2. Relating language curricula, tests and examinations to the Common European Framework of Reference (RELANG) - find out more

Each initiative will offer training workshops to current member states of the European Centre for Modern Languages, and of the European Union.

Benefits

Language experts and education stakeholders from member states of the ECML and of the EU will benefit from training workshops being held in their country through this joint action. 
 

How to get involved

  • Are you a teacher of a MFL or of another subject? 
  • Are you a teacher trainer or member of a language association?   
  • Are you a policy maker or course developer for a MFL or for another subject?
  • Are you an administrator or a school leader?
  • Are you in a position to act as a multiplier, subsequent to a training workshop?

If so and you wish to host a training workshop in your country please contact your EU or ECML representative.

Rationale

By promoting more inclusive ways of teaching and learning along with more efficient ways of evaluating foreign languages, the action will foster social inclusion and intercultural dialogue as well as employability, mobility, economic growth, and thus active democratic citizenship.

Call for workshops in 2022 within the ECML-EU joint Action

The European Centre for Modern Languages of the Council of Europe together with the European Commission are pleased to announce the launch of a new round of RELANG and Supporting Multilingual Classrooms workshops within the joint action on Innovative methodologies and assessment in language learning. RELANG focuses on relating foreign/second language curricula, tests and examinations to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), and Supporting Multilingual Classrooms focuses on the linguistic integration of migrant learners in schools across Europe.

The activities are scheduled to take place between mid-March and mid-December 2022, each initiative offering up to 9 national workshops during this period. In view of the ongoing pandemic, workshops will be delivered in a combination of online and face-to-face formats.

The call is open to current European Union member states and the additional member states of the ECML until 16 February 2022.

For further information on how to request a workshop, please contact Adelina Rosca (adelina.rosca@ecml.at), the ECML-EU cooperation agreement coordinator.
