Vocabulary testing: why, what and how? By Felicity O’ Dell & Russell Whitehead

Saturday 11th April 3:50-4:35 pm Charter 4

We will discuss answers to these questions, considering the strengths and weaknesses of different types of vocabulary test for different teaching contexts.

There’s something missing from your project - the editor! By David Baker & Fiona MacKenzie

Sunday 12 April 10:25-11:10 am Charter 8

Big publishing companies no longer offer the single route to publication. Whether you are self-publishing, a teaching institution developing its own materials, or a digital start-up, in a highly competitive environment it isn’t enough to write something and just put it out there.

Quality still matters - you can’t afford to forget one of the key roles in successful publishing.

Vocabulary levels: which words are at which level? By Stephen Bullon

Monday 13th April 1:35-2:20 pm Charter 8

We will try to establish the standards involved in selecting appropriate vocabulary at the various levels students pass through: frequency, teaching requirements, and register are all factors that need to be weighed in the balance.
