CLOUET, RICHARD. THE APPROACH OF THE COMMON EUROPEAN FRAMEWORK OF REFERENCE FOR LANGUAGES: SOME CONSIDERATIONS CONCERNING ITS PUTTING INTO PRACTICE IN TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING FACULTIES IN SPAIN. RLA [online]. 2010, vol.48, n.2, pp.71-92. ISSN 0718-4883.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-48832010000200004.

This article aims to review the focus of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages in the context of Spanish universities, and more precisely in the teaching/ learning of English as a foreign language in Translation and Interpreting Faculties in Spain. Nowadays, following the guidelines of the Language Policy Division of the Council of Europe, such Faculties have become privileged places to face the challenge of European Convergence. They also have a key role to play in the development of the competences and professional skills of their students.
