ABSTRACT
The increased mobility of people and the globalisation of social and economic processes stimulated by rapid innovations in communication technology create new challenges for educational systems in Europe, such as the reality of progressively more multilingual 1 and multicultural classrooms, the need for compatibility between educational systems and qualifications, and the use of mobile media. These challenges require development and implementation of new quality approaches to European education in general, and language education in particular (policy-making, teacher education, learning, teaching, and assessment).
