The “Towards a common resource for language-related teacher competences?” webinar on  Wednesday 27 February 2019 presented the preliminary results of the  ECML project, Towards a Common European Framework of Reference for Language Teachers .

In the webinar, the coordinator Lukas Bleichenbacher and the project team presented their approach to some of the project’s key questions: 

• What need is there for a future resource that describes the competences of language teachers and the language-related competences necessary for teaching other subjects?
• Is it feasible to propose a model with common competences for all teachers, and specific adaptations for different kinds of teachers?
• In what ways could the development of such a resource be of concrete value for teacher education and professional development?

The webinar also provides a practical introduction to the online guide to the many existing instruments available that describe teacher competences.
