Learning programs and certification can be
global, bringing a learner forward in all dimensions of language proficiency and communicative competence;
modular, improving the learner’s proficiency in a restricted area for a particular purpose;
weighted, emphasizing learning in certain directions and producing a ‘profile’ in which a higher level is attained in some areas of knowledge and skill than others;
partial, taking responsibility only for certain activities and skills (e.g. reception) and leaving others aside.

Study CEFR Make reference to DIALANG and ALTE Adapt CEFR to an individual program Develop language items (vocabulary,
grammar and functional/notional repertories) according to the scheme
Develop curriculum and textbooks according to the scheme
