A New Vision for Language: Plurilingualism, mediation and collaborative learning

This video discusses the expansion of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) through its 2018 Companion Volume. The authors highlight a transition from traditional language skills toward an action-oriented approach that views students as social agents with diverse linguistic backgrounds. Central to this update is the formal integration of mediation, which involves bridging gaps in understanding, and plurilingualism, the ability to use a holistic repertoire of multiple languages. The video details the iterative research and validation process used to create new "can-do" descriptors for these complex competencies. Ultimately, the video aims to foster inclusive education by valuing cultural diversity and moving beyond a rigid focus on separate, isolated languages. Such advancements reflect a modern understanding of language as a dynamic tool for co-constructing meaning in an interconnected world.
