Publications
Cambridge ESOL attends around 700 events a year around the world. They range from organising small tutorials for teachers to presenting papers at seminars, or hosting major international conferences that have a significant role in contributing to the knowledge and understanding of language assessment.
Sharing our research and expertise
As well as submitting papers to refereed academic journals and making presentations at conferences, seminars and symposia, we share our experience and research findings with the wider language assessment community through our own publications.
