Assessment frameworks

This YouTube video discusses assessment frameworks in language teaching, focusing on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The speakers explain that frameworks provide a common language for describing language proficiency levels (A1-C2), improving consistency in grading and curriculum design. They highlight the importance of holistic assessment, considering not just grammar but also fluency, communicative competence, and pragmatic understanding. The video uses examples to illustrate differences in learner abilities across levels and emphasizes the need for alignment between curriculum, teaching, and assessment.
