This Guide is designed to encourage the global, explicit and convergent consideration of the language of schooling and the other languages taught and used at school as well as the promotion of cross-cutting elements that help interlink the different kinds of language teaching. It proposes practical approaches to developing curricula, illustrated by scenarios and other devices.
Aimed primarily at persons in charge of curricula, it addresses all those involved in teaching. The Guide has two accompanying satellite studies:
Chapter 1 Curriculum, competences, and plurilingual and intercultural education provides a general picture of the issues and principles involved in designing and/or improving curricula, and of pedagogical and didactic approaches which open the way to fuller realisation of the general aim of plurilingual and intercultural education
The next two chapters look more closely at two basic questions raised in the first:
Chapter 2 Designing curricula for plurilingual and intercultural education discusses how the specific content and aims of plurilingual and intercultural education can be identified and integrated within the curriculum, while also respecting the specific content and aims of teaching individual languages.
Chapter 3 Elements for curriculum scenarios geared to plurilingual and intercultural education addresses how curriculum scenarios can be used to project the spacing-out in time of this content and these objectives.
