This report focuses on the steps taken since 2008 to introduce the CEFR into the teaching of foreign languages other than English, at Muroran Institute of Technology. Seven part-time instructors of Chinese and Russian collaborated over the time of one year in developing teaching materials, as well as can-do-lists based on the level A1 of the CEFR. For this task, the CEFR-based German textbook “Und du?” was used as a reference.
