Cambridge English Centenary Conference
English language learning is experiencing one of its most dramatic periods of growth, and English is now one of the primary curriculum subjects for many children around the world. It is vital that the assessment community understands this landscape so that it can develop the right strategies, content and assessments for this rapidly expanding, and diverse, student group.
Film and slides of the talks from the Cambridge English Centenary Conference held on 7 September 2013 are now available online. They include Assessing English: A systemic view of assessemnt within an educational context (Dr. Nick Saville and Dr. Nick Jones), Insights from computational linguistics in teaching and assessing written English by Professor Ted Briscoe, and Insights from machine learning in assessing spoken English by Professor Mark Gales.
