Integrating learning and assessment: getting the most from every moment of learning
Peter Lucantoni
Integrating learning and assessment (ILA) involves aligning teaching, curriculum and assessment practices to maximize learner outcomes. By setting clear learning objectives, collecting evidence of progress, providing actionable feedback, and offering tailored follow-up, teachers can create a dynamic classroom environment that continuously adapts to students' needs. In this session, we will unlock how to use ILA to get the most from every moment of learning.

Making 21st century reading more accessible
Peter Lucantoni
Reading and writing are incredible human achievements, allowing us to communicate across both space and time’ (Watkins, 2017). In this session we will discuss the importance of reading in the 21str century, and consider how students can gain access to reading in the modern digital world. We will establish the differences between skills and strategies and decide why this distinction is so important when considering print vs online reading. By participating in a reading activity, there will be an opportunity for teachers to discuss the differences between online and print reading, to think about online text validity, and agree on the key characteristics of each.

In this practical workshop, you'll explore how to apply the Cambridge English Qualifications writing assessment scales at A2 Key and B1 Preliminary levels. You'll assess sample responses, compare your judgements with official examiner comments, and consider how to use assessment criteria to provide targeted feedback that helps learners improve their writing.
