K-12 LANGUAGE FRAMEWORK FOR CANADA WHY NOT A CANADIAN ONE?
On May 26th, the Language Assessment Research Group (LARG) was honoured to host Monique Bournot-Trites, Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia, who presented an argument for the use of the Canadian Language Benchmarks/Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens for curricular development and assessment in Canadian K-12 contexts. The stimulating and thought-provoking event brought together about 50 Canadian and international academics and professionals. Watch it on YouTube:
