Description
A comparative study of the impact of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages produced by the Council of Europe in 2001, this book asks writers in European countries and countries in the Americas and Asia to explain the infl uence of the CEFR. For each country there is a policy-maker and an academic perspective.
