The Cambridge English Digital Framework for Language Teachers
– The Cambridge English Digital Framework has been developed by experts in the field, in consultation with practising language teachers and trainers. It forms the basis for the organisation of this site and provides a focused and principled guide to professional development.
We know that every teacher has their own starting point and professional development goals – explore the six categories and Test your Digital Skills to kick-start your digital professional development.
