The purpose of this standardisation workshop is to provide training to experienced teachers on how to assess students’ writings at B2 and C1 levels. We will analyse the cut-offs between CEFR levels, identifying the salient points so that you may leave the workshop more confident in being able to provide detailed feedback to your own students. You will actively be discussing and making CEFR level decisions, so please come prepared to interact.
Target group: teens, young adults, adults
