Raising awareness of the role of language in all learning: Marita Härmälä (Finnish Education Evaluation Centre) and Eli MOE (University of Bergen) gave a presentation at 15th Annual Conference of EALTA /7th CEFR SIG Meeting (programme).

Marita Härmälä and Eli Moe reported on an ongoing 4-year ECML project centered on the language of schooling. It builds on the results of the ECML Language Descriptors 2012-2015 project where subject specific CEFR descriptors were developed for young L2 learners in history and mathematics. The aim of the current project is to develop samples of teaching materials including both content and language goals.
