About WebCEF

WebCEF enables the collaborative assessment of oral language proficiency through a web-based environment. As a language learner or language teacher you will be able to evaluate your own video and audio samples together with colleagues and peers across Europe. The assessment is based on the descriptors of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEF).

As a registered user of the Assessment tool you can create, upload, rate and comment on video and audio samples. With low-threshold technology, you can create your own video and audio samples to be assessed by a community of language learners across Europe.

WebCEF gives:

• language learners the opportunity to let their samples be assessed by teachers all over Europe
• language teachers the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues across Europe and to improve their skills in the use of the CEF scales
• language researchers the access to a vast database of samples and assessments

The WebCEF project runs from October 2006 till September 2009 and is funded under the Socrates - Minerva programme of the European Commission (Directorate-General for Education and Culture) and with the support of  the Education, Audiovisual & Culture Exectuive Agency (EACEA).

The partners in this project have a long history of collaboration on Computer-Aided Language Learning and language assessment. The WebCEF project explores the use of Web 2.0 developments in language learning.
