Description

In this session, we’ll look at how innovations in English testing can help schools, teachers and learners effectively address issues around placement, progression, remediation and certification impacted by the shift towards hybrid and digital-first learning. We’ll explore how the traditional model of end-of-course assessment is changing and review the ways in which measuring English proficiency throughout the learning journey can unlock opportunities for a more personalised approach to language development. Whether your school is ‘back to normal’ or adjusting to a ‘new normal’, find out how assessment can motivate, support and inspire your learners.
