The paper “Using the Common European Framework of Reference for Evaluating Language Volunteers for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games” presents the results of a small-scale study on the efficient use of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) for the self-assessment and placement of language services volunteers at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

This group of volunteers provided highly specialised interpretation services to athletes from the 88 countries represented.

One of the authors, Sally Rehorick, was the Director of International Client Services for VANOC (the organizing committee for the Games) and had responsibility for language services.
