We
are pleased to announce the ACTFL-CEFR Symposium 2012 taking place on
June 21-23, 2012 at the European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML) of
the Council of Europe in Graz, Austria. The symposium is organised
jointly by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages
(ACTFL), the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG), and the
Language Policy Unit and the European Centre for Modern Languages of
the Council of Europe. This will be the 3rd annual event, building on the previous meetings held in Leipzig, Germany (2010) and Provo, Utah, USA (2011) which explored correspondences between the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) on theoretical and empirical grounds. The goal for this year’s event is to look at the implications of cross-walks between the ACTFL Guidelines and the CEFR for learning/teaching systems based on standards, for teacher training and for assessment/certification. |
