The sixth workshop of CEFR Online Workshop Series 2022 entitled “Using the CEFR Companion volume to enhance teacher agency in school-based language curriculum making" took place on Thursday, 8 September 2022.
This workshop presented ways to raise teacher critical awareness and enhance collaborative language curriculum making with the use of the CEFR. Participants had the opportunity to bring their own curricular issues in the discussion and look at a few examples of how the CEFR scales can be used in school curriculum design, in response to specific curricular issues.
The workshop was moderated by Daniela Fasoglio. Ms Fasoglio is modern language expert at the Dutch Institute for Curriculum Development (SLO) and is responsible for national modern language curriculum reforms in Dutch secondary education. She has coordinated several CEFR dissemination and implementation activities. Her expertise includes curriculum analysis, design and evaluation, as well as development and implementation processes. She is engaged in the integration of such issues as culture, mediation and plurilingualism in language education.
