Meeting Description: 

New Directions in English Language Assessment is the British Council’s
flagship language testing and assessment conference. The conference provides
perspectives and insight on trends and approaches in English language
assessment at a local, regional, and international level. Since being
established in 2013, the conference has celebrated nine editions, with the
latest being held online in December 2021.

Bridging divides: Towards a comprehensive approach to language teaching,
learning and assessment
As global events over the past two years have fragmented societies, isolated
individuals and distanced colleagues from one other, this year’s conference
seeks to highlight the interconnectedness of systems, societies and people.
Bringing together key influencers and pro-active practitioners in teaching,
testing and the wider educational context, New Directions East Asia 2022 is
titled Bridging divides: Towards a comprehensive approach to language
teaching, learning and assessment. Global challenges and changes have proven
to be stark reminders that barriers are permeable and that what affects one,
affects all. Our themes this year aim to explore the myriad of interactions at
these boundaries from a language assessment perspective, located in the wider
educational, social and technological context.

Our main theme considers the crucial role of standards and frameworks in
breaking down the barriers between teaching, learning and assessment in the
comprehensive learning system and how education systems can leverage standards
to achieve a holistic approach to achieving proficiency goals. In another
strand, we look at the blurring of barriers not only between the four
traditional skills in a key trend towards integrated skills testing, but also
at how assessment can be integrated into authentic language use scenarios in
immersive testing. The now ubiquitous theme of technology in language
assessment hones in on the overlap of human and machine in hybrid approaches
to a variety of components in the language testing cycle. In a strand that
looks well beyond language testing, the barrier-breaking, thought-provoking
initiatives of the global Future of English and multinational SHARE ASEAN
projects that seek to tap into the minds and skills of a range of people in
the region are showcased. Finally, a dedicated British Council Aptis strand
celebrates the tenth anniversary of the test with an overview of key research
and test development milestones.
