Online event on evidence-based practices for large-scale language assessment – 25 Sept 2025
CILTER’s Educational Assessment Thematic Hub are holding an online event on the morning of Thursday 25 September to discuss issues around modern assessment practices.
Large-scale language assessments play a central role in education, migration, and professional mobility, but how can we be confident they are fair, valid, and reliable? In this talk, David Coniam and Leda Lampropoulou share perspectives on the research that underpins test quality and the evidence needed for sound decision-making.
David Coniam will open the session by examining why ongoing programmes of research and validation are critical for ensuring assessments remain fit for purpose in a rapidly changing landscape. Leda Lampropoulou will then turn to the role of concordance studies, outlining the principles of good practice that guide their design and highlighting how they can support stakeholders in interpreting and using test scores responsibly.
Join us for an engaging discussion at the intersection of research, practice, and policy in language testing.
This session will consist of 40 minutes of presentation, followed by 20 minutes of Q&A.
