Maltese as a foreign language : syllabus : juniors level A2 elementary

Abstract

This syllabus is based on the updated version of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, teaching, assessment. The CEFR, which is not language-specific, was republished in 2020 by the Council of Europe as part of its continuing work: “to ensure quality inclusive education as a right of all citizens... the CEFR broadens the perspective of language education in a number of ways, not least by its vision of the user/learner as a social agent, co-constructing meaning in interaction, and by the notions of mediation and plurilingual/pluricultural competences. The CEFR has proved successful precisely because it encompasses educational values, a clear model of language-related competences and language use, and practical tools, in the form of illustrative descriptors, to facilitate the development of curricula and orientation of teaching and learning.” (CEFR 2020, 21).
