This book discusses the impact of the CEFR on curricula, teaching\/learning and assessment in a wide range of educational contexts, identifies challenges posed by the \u003cem\u003eCompanion Volume \u003c\/em\u003eand sheds light on areas that require further research and development. Particular attention is paid to three features of the two documents: their action-oriented approach, their focus on plurilingualism, and the potential of their scales and descriptors to support the alignment of curricula, teaching\/learning and assessment. The book suggests a way forward for future engagement with the CEFR, taking account of new developments in applied linguistics and related disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Little\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Fellow Emeritus of Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
