Resumen:
The purpose of this chapter is to focus on the aspects of the CEFR that have been borrowed, as well as those which have been silenced or downgraded in Argentina – and why this should happen – by reference to several of the contexts in the country as a whole. I stress that the spirit and motivation for its adoption here lie in the need for unification in language education regarding objectives, content, assessment and standards, considering the multiplicity of its contexts of use. I explain how a change of focus has taken place, in particular with new curricular developments (one of which we describe in the previous chapter).  This leads to a consideration of competing models of education around which such change occurred, and how these models have made possible the appropriation of some aspects of the CEFR and the disregard for others at different historical and social periods in the country.
