TeacherFOCUS's Multilingual Education Teacher Competency Standards Framework seeks to identify and validate the approaches and best practices for multilingual teaching and learning used and cited from around the globe. The 3 domains and 20 teacher competencies aim to assess a complex combination of knowledge, skills, understanding, values, and attitudes which lead to effective language learning, cultural promotion and critical thinking.

 

The MLE framework consolidates the essential multilingual competencies that would enable a teacher to effectively promote authentic learning in a multilingual environment. The framework provides a core set of competency standards to be used as the point of reference or benchmark for quality multilingual teaching.
