Meeting Description:
The aim of the meeting, organized by the DITALS Centre of the University for
Foreigners in Siena (Italy), is to discuss methods of assessment and evaluation
criteria in Foreign Language Teaching (Knowledge and Abilities) comparing tests
like TKT (for English) and DITALS (for Italian) with the 6 levels of EAQUALS
profiling grid, in order to achieve some agreement on a common policy
development, that promote quality language teaching and the development of
plurilingual and intercultural competences in future generations of language
learners. As a means to achieve this aim, the meeting aims to enable
participants to compare good practice in language teacher training in Europe and
beyond (Canada in particular), in the context of the current European policy for
foreign language teaching. Two important European documents will provide a
background framework: the European Profile for Language Teacher Education (2004)
and EPOSTL (the European Portfolio for Student Teachers of Languages) (2005),
recently translated into various languages.
Representatives from language teacher training certification bodies will also be
available to facilitate discussion of the main issues relating to certain
teaching assessment methods for teachers of English, German, French, Italian in
Europe and Canada.
