Abstract

This article aims at illustrating the strengths and the theoretical foundations of the innovative language learning proposal put forward by Escola Andorrana (the state education of Andorra). It is a student-centred model based on an ecological perspective on language teaching and learning. Intercultural and plurilingual education transcends the traditional disciplinary boundaries and organises learning through project-based proposals. The Andorranean curriculum is aligned with the latest recommendations proposed by the Council of Europe.

Keywords

School curriculum, intercultural and plurilingual education, plurilingual approaches to language learning, project-based learning, ecological learning perspectives versus deterministic learning; language diversity, language across the curriculum.
