TEASIG- In-person PCE 2025:Putting the learner at the heart of assessment

Join the IATEFL Testing Evaluation & Assessment Special Interest Group for their 2025 in person Pre-Conference Event on 7 April: Putting the learner at the heart of assessment

In an era of rapidly evolving educational paradigms, the focus on learner-centred assessment has never been more critical. This event, ‘Putting the learner at the heart of assessment’, aims to explore interesting and practical approaches for designing assessments that prioritise the needs, strengths, and experiences of learners.

One recent shift has been the adoption of principles ensuring that assessments are accessible and equitable for all learners, including those with specific needs. In addition, integrating principles of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) help create a fair and supportive assessment environment for every student.

In parallel, enhancing test taker experience became an equally important consideration in an increasingly competitive language education and testing market. This involves not only improving the design and delivery of assessments but also actively responding to test takers’ feedback and preferences. By incorporating these insights, educators and assessment organisations can refine their approaches to better support learner success and meet their own growth objectives.

Our event will consist of workshops and presentations highlighting practical strategies for putting the learner at the heart of language assessment, ultimately fostering a more personalised, responsive, inclusive, and effective assessment landscape.
