Workshop Tim McNamara
On Wednesday, 21 September 2011, Prof. Tim McNamara, gives a workshop at the Institute of Multilingualism,
on the following subject:
Assessing the language skills of migrants: Policy and practice
09.30am - 5 pm, Room K1.03
Abstract:
This workshop will consider the policy goals underlying migrant language skills assessment, and will examine ways in which such assessments may be carried out. It will use a proposed distinction between ‘fairness’ and ‘justice’ in assessment (McNamara & Ryan, 2011) to examine aspects of the validity of such assessments.
The workshop is open to a general audience interested in these issues. It will be held in English.
The workshop is full - registration is closed.
