CALL FOR PAPERS
Closes 31 January 2011
The theme of the conference is 'The Impact of Language Frameworks on Assessment, Learning and Teaching: policies, procedures and challenges.'
ALTE welcomes papers in German, English, Spanish, French, Italian and Polish related to this theme such as:
- The extent to which frameworks affect language teaching, learning and assessment at individual, institutional, community and societal level
- The extent to which frameworks are useful for language teachers and learners
- Ways in which language frameworks can inform how particular languages are described by providing information about criterial features to distinguish different levels of proficiency
Why submit a paper?
- Add your voice to a truly international, multilingual debate
- Increase the profile and extend the influence of your organisation, whether a research facility, assessment body, educational establishment, or policy body
- Share a platform with leading educators and policy makers
- Help strengthen the bridge between theory and practice
