Reforming Language Assessment: Insights from the 45th Language Testing Research Colloquium

The 45th annual Language Testing Research Colloquium (LTRC), held this year, marked a pivotal discussion point for language testing professionals worldwide, who gathered under the theme, “Reforming Language Assessment Systems, Reforming Language Assessment Research.”

This theme responded to the dynamic landscape of language assessment, acknowledging shifts in technology, communication, and social values. Attendees from the fields of psychometrics, second language learning, and educational measurement were joined by prominent organizations, all committed to advancing research that reflects the global and inclusive nature of modern language assessment.

Dr. Nachowitz, Senior Researcher and Managing Director of Test Development at ITSC, participated in this year’s LTRC and shared his three key takeaways from the conference. ITSC is making concerted efforts to stay aligned with evolving language assessment practices, particularly in the areas of fairness, technological integration, and communicative constructs.

-

Transforming Language Assessment through Equity, Technology, and Communication

-

Investigating Dynamic and Diagnostic Assessment

-

Fairness as a Cornerstone of Validity

The 45th LTRC conference highlighted the transformation in a field where assessments are being re-envisioned to reflect technological, social, and communicative advances. As language assessment adapts to new standards of fairness, equity, and accuracy, ITSC remains poised to implement research-based enhancements, ensuring alignment with the latest in language assessment thought and practice.

G-TELP IBT Home Edition

ITSC has recently released G-TELP IBT Home Edition, an at-home testing solution that has been developed in response to circumstances in which test takers have been affected by the pandemic. Students can take not only
G-TELP Level Tests but also Speaking and Writing Tests at home, and all Home Edition tests being administered are identical in content and level of difficulty to the G-TELP tests that are administered at test venues. Test takers only need a headset and a desktop or laptop with a camera in order to take the G-TELP IBT Home Edition test. For further information, please contact an agency in your country.

Beijing Airport promotes

English in air-ground

radio talk for safety

reasons

article image5

All planes leaving and landing at the Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA) must use English in wireless communication with ground controllers from May 5 in 2010, aviation watchdog said on Tuesday.

At least 30 percent of the flights must switch from Chinese to English from May 5 this year and no less than 60 percent must do that a year later, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said in a statement on its website.

"Many foreign airlines have complained they couldn't precisely judge their planes' position in the air because of failing to understand the talk between Chinese pilots and air traffic controllers in their mother tongue, which led to hidden safety problems," the statement quoted CAAC deputy director Li Jian as saying at a conference.

He said the problems might worsen as airlines were expected to add flights to Beijing after Terminal 3 was opened in the run-up to the Olympic Games.

The move was also an answer to requirements by the International Civil Aviation Organization for English competence of pilots and air traffic controllers to be upgraded, said Li.

The measure would be promoted to other international airports in the country, according to the statement.

From May 5 this year, crew members on new air routes or new flights to Beijing must be qualified in English, it said.

The BCIA's Terminal 3 went into full operation on March 26, expanding the airport's capacity to 1,700 flights per day, up from1,000.

The airport handled 53.47 million passengers last year, putting it among the world's 10 busiest. It was expected to receive 5.56 million people during the Games in August.

G-TELP Business Test ready

for administration

ITSC is pleased to announce that it has finished the development of the G-TELP Business Test in October of 2007. The GBT is a battery of tests designed to evaluate the ability of non-native speakers of English to use the language to communicate in everyday business or corporate situations.

The GBT tests business-English language proficiency at three levels: Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each test is composed of two (2) sections: a written section, and a speaking section. There are 10 tasks in each section, and each section takes approximately sixty (60) minutes to complete. Thus, each test contains a total of twenty (20) tasks which take two (2) hours to complete.

IBT system undergoing

for distribution

article image5

ITSC, one of the leaders in language proficiency assessment and measurement, is currently conducting trials of a new testing system designed to facilitate the administration of language proficiency tests. This system, called the IBT or Internet Based Test, allows test takers to take tests through the internet. The IBT (Internet Based Test) project was first started in May, 2005, and the IBT system is now being used to administer the G-TELP Speaking Test in the United States. ITSC has high hopes for this testing system, as it will make the test administration process more convenient and efficient for both the test taker and the test administrator. Benefits include the reduction or elimination of the scheduling, space, and overhead requirements associated with traditional test administration systems, as well as the convenience afforded to test takers who can now take tests wherever a computer and internet connection are available. To ease concerns about the possibility of identity fraud on the tests, administrators in schools and enterprises will be given unique I. D. numbers which will allow them to check and verify the scores and level of their students and staff who took the test.
