Le tecnologie nei quadri di riferimento, negli standard e nei portfolio linguistici internazionali

Abstract

The paper provides an outline of the role of technology in some of the most important frameworks, standards and portfolios in use for language education. An analysis of these texts is particularly useful to understand the reception of the research on Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) outside the specialized literature. Two dimensions, namely generic vs. specific and procedural vs. integrated, are identified through which it is possible to appreciate the different perspectives expressed by each of these texts and evaluate their potential contribution to the definition of a CALL syllabus.
