American European Alliance for Education

AEAfE works with an international, multi-cultural team of highly experienced academic and assessment consultants with advanced degrees from American and European universities. AEAfE’s seat is located in Luxembourg, but our associates are active throughout Europe and especially in the broader Mediterranean region, and travel in the context of ongoing projects in seven countries in the region. Our team has been involved in projects in such fields as foreign-language certification, consulting on secondary school curricula, teacher training and certification programs, the design of language-learning platforms, and the production of digital and mobile applications for foreign-language learning and management training. They bring to AEAfE considerable expertise in the complex logistics of large-scale certification examinations, the building of multi-national management teams, the design and implementation of professional training and certification programs, and rapid design-to-deployment production of digital and print-based learning materials.

Projects in which our consultants have participated in 2011 in cooperation with local and regional partners include:

• ISO 9001:2008 certification for the planning, organization, and administration of examinations, and the provision of services to candidates, foreign-language schools, and teachers;
• Creation of a nationally scaled network of education and training providers in the framework of promoting standardized certification models;
• Development of smart-phone mobile application (iPhone/iApp) for learning Greek as a Foreign Language;
• Design and implementation of standard-setting studies to link language tests to the Common European Framework of Reference;
• Organization of professional and academic workshops and seminars in the field of testing;
• Assessment of teaching staff and student language competency and proposal for the development of bilingual curricula for a secondary school;
• Design and implementation of foreign-language teacher training workshops in the context of promoting foreign language certification standards;
