Session Title:
CEFR Vs. Assessment: How can new revisions help?
Logo:
Abstract:
CEFR has settled rules for determining students' language levels. Yet what is the relation between it and assessment? What are the new clarifications/descriptors added through the recently published CEFR revisions? Can these really promote teachers' assessment of their students' classwork and their lesson plans as well? Is there a place for technology also? Let's look it up!!

Session objectives: By the end of this session, the audience would be able to:
a. Understand the different scales and descriptors of the CEFR
b. Assessment their students and work according to the new CEFR revisions

** How do you decide what to test and how to test it?
Applications will be done on a number on the exercises attached (A comprehension passage +3 exercises - uploaded). An assignment will be given to choose test items and apply what has been discussed during the introductory session to them. Giant Pandas by Guy Belleranti.docx
