What did we change?

• Score of +/- (I am not sure if I can do)

• Instructions (but it is still not enough)

• The role of the teachers

What did we not achieve (yet)?

• A version of the ELP in English• A flexible construction of the passport• The change of users profile• Developing a lot of learning activities• Working with teachers takes much more

time than we expected because of…….– A lack of information on CEF– The consequences working with ELP make

changes in didactics necessary– Still difficult to get it in the curriculum
