explore the importance of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for languages and assessing EAL learners using materials linked to the CEFR
utilise the CEFR benchmarks as targets and link them to the EAL learner’s curriculum
discuss and share examples of good practice in linking language support to the curriculum.
