One clear opportunity in the move to online learning and testing is the chance to re-visit and re-imagine integrated skills assessment, capitalising on the work on mediation in the CEFR Companion Volume.
With talks from testing specialists working in the area of integrated skills assessment and workshops to explore task design, scoring and reporting approaches, this PCE will give all attendees useful insights, experience and activities for working with integrated assessment approaches.
