Recorded Wednesday, March 3, 2021 | 10:00 AM MST
Summary
In this live event, learn how you can join in the democratic digital transformation of language assessment. We’ll talk about how great language testing can help reduce bias, level the playing field for bilingual hires, and create an overall more inclusive hiring environment for people all around the world.
Highlights
- In order to close the global communication gap, there are long standing inequities in language assessment and instruction that need to be corrected.
- These barriers include restricted access, rising costs and even content bias that perpetuate imbalances in who benefits from gaining and demonstrating language ability.
- AI technologies can correct these inequities and open doors of opportunity for language education and employment wider than ever before.
“Adaptivity, for us, is not a feature. It’s part of our mission. We want the benefits of that adaptivity to reach all of our test takers and users.”
