International Assessment Award

The International Assessment Award will be made to an individual working for 
the promotion of excellence in language assessment on the international stage.

area of assessment and will consist of a formal citation and an honorarium of 
£1,000. 

Applications close 10 January 2013

 

Assessment Research Grants

The Assessment Research Grants scheme is designed to contribute, together with 
internal British Council research activities, to the validation of Aptis. The 
research agenda upon which the grants are premised is based on the modified 
socio-cognitive validation framework (Weir, 2005; O'Sullivan & Weir, 2011) and 
will build a significant body of substantive evidence of the validity of Aptis. 

 

Unlike other award schemes, the Aptis Research Grants will support projects 
which are directly focused on Aptis or which are more exploratory in nature. In 
this latter case, the proposer must demonstrate the potential impact on Aptis 
(or on language assessment in a more general way) of their research. For this 
reason, this call for proposals will focus both on areas of immediate interest 
to Aptis and of a more general current interest.

Projects will be for a period of one year.

Applications close 10 January 2013
