What is it about?
Democratic principles and human rights, the core values of the Council of Europe, informed the development of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFL, 2001) and the European Language Portfolio (ELP) with its focus on learner autonomy. EPOS is the electronic version of the ELP, invented in Bremen, the smallest federal state of Germany, for the use in schools and universities. Today, EPOS is supported by the EPOS Association. The article gives three examples of how EPOS is used in member states of the association in Germany and the UK and concludes by explaining how EPOS might collaborate with two projects of the European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML) in Graz.
