The project allows language learners to let samples of their language performance to 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 to access a vast database of language performance samples and assessments. The WebCEF project runs until September 2009 and is funded under the Socrates - Minerva programme of the European Commission.
