The ECOSTAR project will implement a wide-reaching reform of English Foreign Language studies at tertiary level in Israel. The project will produce a national framework for EFL aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for language learning, supported by learning packages that ensure the development of productive and communicative as well as receptive language skills. An online repository of open educational resources and materials will be created and made available to EFL professionals in Israeli higher education institutions. Regional and national training workshops will be held for EFL teachers to familiarize them with the new framework and its implementation.
