"STRATEGIES OF NEW FORMAT WRITING CEFR".
Keywords:
CEFR, writing skills, new assessment format, mediation, digital literacy, formative assessment, competency-based teaching, language policy.Abstract
This scientific article examines pedagogical and assessment strategies for developing written competencies within the updated Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) framework. Following the publication of the CEFR Companion Volume in 2020, writing is no longer conceptualised merely as grammatical accuracy and lexical range, but as a complex communicative activity encompassing mediation, digital literacy, integrated skills, and contextual adaptability. The article analyses innovative teaching methodologies, formative assessment techniques, curriculum modernisation pathways, and teacher professional development mechanisms designed to respond to these paradigm shifts. Research findings indicate that task-based, process-oriented, and digitally integrated approaches significantly enhance learners' communicative competence compared to traditional product-focused writing instruction. The article provides evidence-based recommendations for language educators, curriculum designers, and policy makers seeking to align writing instruction with contemporary CEFR descriptors.
