Lingua Empresa aims to be an answer to the challenge of creating methodological principles based on plurilingualism, pluriculturalism and “language learning towards action”. Its actions addressing training, learning and language-assessment issues are based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the use of the European Language Portfolioo (ELP)
The CEFR aims at describing in an integrative way both what language students must learn to do in order to be able to communicate in a certain language, and what knowledge and skills they should develop in order to perform effectively.
