The ACTFL-CEFR Symposium 2012 is taking place on 21-23 June 2012 at the European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML) of the Council of Europe in Graz. The event intends to look at the implications of cross-walks between the ACTFL Guidelines and the CEFR for learning/teaching, for teacher training and for assessment/certification.
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 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.
