<br>Tomorrow: LARC/CALPER 12th Webinar on Assessment<br><br>Join us for our webinar on<br><br>"Assessing Vocabulary"<br><br>Dr. John Read <br>University of Auckland, New Zealand<br> <br>Tomorrow<br>Wednesday, February 19, 2014 <br>
3:30 - 4:40pm EST<br><br>Description: <br><br>Learners of second languages are very conscious about the fact that becoming proficient users of the language involves acquiring adequate knowledge of vocabulary. Thus, teachers need to be able to monitor their students' vocabulary development and set realistic targets for their students to learn the words that they need to know. Aside from discussing more traditional progress tests, in this webinar we will also look in detail at the critical concept of "vocabulary size" and how it can be defined and measured and we will examine how to assess knowledge of collocations and other multi-word lexical units - all of which are concepts currently much discussed in assessment and vocabulary studies. <br>
<br>This webinar is a free professional development event for educators organized and broadcast by CALPER and LARC (the LRC at San Diego State University). <br><br>More information: <a href="http://larc.sdsu.edu/events/webinars/webinar-read/" target="_blank">http://larc.sdsu.edu/events/webinars/webinar-read/</a> <br>
