Programme
Theme & Sub-Themes
Crossing the threshold: investigating levels, domains and frameworks in language assessment.
Our main theme reflects contemporary research interests and concerns within the language testing and assessment community (at both national and international level) focusing on proficiency levels, language domains, and the role of interpretative frameworks of reference for language learning, teaching and assessment (e.g. the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB)). This main theme also allows for coverage of a number of additional sub-themes which have contemporary relevance.
