  • More about Pluricultural Language Education and the CEFR

Pluralistic approaches to language education, such as Pluricultural Language Education (PLE), are emerging to meet the needs of adult language learners in modern communicative contexts. PLE recognizes and builds on individuals' full linguistic and cultural repertoires, enhancing knowledge and awareness of diversity and individual perspective in communicative situations. It involves developing mediation and autonomous learning skills and mobilizes teachers, managers, curriculum and materials developers, and other stakeholders to incorporate CEFR-informed pluriculturalism into language education practice.

Pluralistic approaches to language education, such as Pluricultural Language Education (PLE), are gaining prominence in meeting the needs of adult language learners in modern communicative contexts. These approaches recognize and leverage individuals' comprehensive linguistic and cultural repertoires and trajectories throughout the language learning process. Drawing from the perspectives of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) on pluriculturalism, autonomy, and an action-oriented approach to language use, PLE aims to enhance language learners' knowledge and awareness of diversity and individual perspectives in communicative situations. It also fosters the development of mediation and autonomous learning skills.

This volume interprets PLE by promoting the integration of CEFR-informed pluriculturalism into language education practice in a flexible, stepwise, and contextualized manner. It mobilizes teachers, managers, curriculum and materials developers, and other stakeholders to embrace and implement PLE principles, fostering a more inclusive and equitable learning environment for adult language learners.

By adopting pluralistic approaches, language education can better equip learners with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate diverse linguistic and cultural contexts, promote intercultural understanding, and contribute to a more inclusive and diverse society.
