Meeting Description: 

The ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science (CASS), Lancaster
University is organising a free half-day workshop on corpus-based approaches
to language testing. The event offers a combination of two lectures and a
practical session. The practical session focuses on major corpus techniques
used in language assessment research and practice. The workshop is suitable
for students, researchers and practitioners interested in language assessment,
applied linguistics and corpus methods. No prior knowledge of corpus
linguistics is required.  We are delighted that Dr Shelley Staples from the
University of Arizona accepted the invitation to give a guest lecture at the
event.

The attendance is free, but registration in advance is required since the
number of places is limited. Please register via the event page. 

Programme:

11:30-12:00: Registration & Lunch 
12:00-12:55: Dana Gablasova:  Corpora in language assessment: An overview 
13:00-14:00: Shelley Staples: Using multidimensional analysis for language
assessment
14:00-14:25: Tea & coffee break 
14:30-16:00: Vaclav Brezina: Corpus methods in language testing (practical lab
