Through its programmes of activities and publications it continues to pursue the development of language teaching to meet the needs of the contemporary world. Among its most recent initiatives in this tradition are the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages providing guidelines for teaching, learning and assessment, and the European Language Portfolio which allows learners to plan and reflect upon their learning, and to chart and describe their proficiency. There has also always been a concern to help teachers develop their theory and practice, for example by organising seminars and interaction networks and by publishing compendia which offer examples of good practice."
