The ninth workshop of CEFR Online Workshop Series 2022 entitled "Developing CEFR-based assessment rubrics and rating scales for interaction and production" took place on Thursday, 1 December 2022.
The workshop focused on developing rating scales and rubrics for assessing productive and integrated skills. Based on an overview of different scale types, the participants examined in which ways the categories and levels of the CEFR Companion volume can inform the development of assessment criteria and descriptors suitable for rating purposes. They also covered formative assessment and self-assessment checklists.
The workshop was facilitated by Claudia Harsh. Ms Harsch is a professor at the University of Bremen, specialising in language learning, teaching and assessment. She is also the director of the Languages Centre of the Universities in the Land Bremen. She has worked in Germany and in the UK, and is active in teacher training worldwide. Her research interests focus on areas such as language assessment, language and migration, the development of language assessment literacy, and the implementation of the CEFR. Ms Harsh is the upcoming president of the International Language Testing Association, and was president of the European Association of Language Testing and Assessment from 2016-2019.
