Concurrent Session B1: The CIIP Perspective: Implications for Vocabulary Assessment
Saturday May 10, 2025 1:45pm - 3:00pm MDT
In his plenary talk, the speaker presented the CIIP perspective of vocabulary knowledge and acquisition. In it, he touched on some implications of this perspective for vocabulary assessment. In this breakout session, he will go into much more detail about how to evaluate vocabulary test items, based on a CIIP viewpoint. The session will be workshop-based and hands-on in style, as the presenter takes the audience through a number of popular vocabulary test formats, together working out what each format does (and more importantly does not!) tell us about learners’ vocabulary knowledge. He will introduce the audience to a number of extant vocabulary size tests, and will offer advice on writing bespoke vocabulary tests if none of the existing ones are suitable for your context.

Concurrent Session C4: Introducing and Using Self-Assessments
Saturday May 10, 2025 3:15pm - 4:30pm MDT
Our school has been actively working on using criteria and self-assessment to improve student learning. This session will invite participants into our journey by sharing practical examples of our implementation process in division one and two classrooms with a range of English language proficiency levels (yes, even beginners!). Every journey has its challenges and unexpected benefits, these will be shared as well. Come prepared for an interactive discussion and hopefully a few laughs along the way!
