This document discusses the PromacoLT project which aims to better match language learners' competences with organizational needs. It finds that traditional language courses focus more on knowledge than practical use. An analysis of cases found that courses need to better adapt components to learners' needs, capabilities, and the sponsoring organization's purpose. Non-academic uses of language require sociolinguistic and pragmatic competences beyond linguistic skills. The project is developing new assessment tools building on the CEFR to evaluate employment-related language proficiency through real-world testing.
