In our latest blog post, we explore how practice is evolving to meet changing demand, and what the future holds for assessment. 👉 Find out more: #BritishCouncilAssessment #LanguageTests #TechnologyInEducation  #LearnEnglish #EnglishExams  #AptisESOL #FutureOfEnglish #AITeaching  #VocationalEnglish

We also provide comprehensive teachers’ guides and orientation and preparation support.

We’re still on a high from last month’s ELTons Festival of Innovation. 🥳 Over one packed day, we learned from global thought leaders, innovators and practitioners about the latest trends and innovations in English language education, including: ✅ the potential for AI and apps ✅ how English is evolving   ✅ how to empower learners and prepare them for a complex world … and much, much more! One of the highlights was Mina Patel’s talk ‘How to test less but test better: a new approach to English teaching and assessment’. Mina shared insights from her research on assessments, highlighting the need for tests to be relevant, engaging and flexible to support learning as part of a systematic approach.

Teachers play a vital role in supporting learners to pass their tests. But who supports the teachers? We do! That’s why we organised two Aptis ESOL teacher training days in Vietnam last month. On November 18 and 25, we hosted English teachers from 15 universities, institutions and language centres, in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. 🧑🏫 The aim? To share insights about Aptis ESOL, its assessment principles and how it positively encourages learning. We also dove into some teaching tips to help learners reach their full potential. 💪 The result? 100% of the happy participants affirmed they were better informed about Aptis ESOL at the end of each day. 👊 A huge thanks to VTED and Atlanticlink for their help to organise this! If you attended one of the days, tag yourself and your colleagues in the photo and comment to share your highlights. 👇 #BritishCouncil #BritishCouncilAssessment #TeachEnglish #TeacherTraining #ProfessionalDevelopment #LanguageAssessments #EnglishAssessments #AptisESOL

Here at the British Council, our 90 years experience has taught us that all learners have individual needs. Recognising this is crucial to help them achieve outcomes that reflect their true abilities. This includes students with special educational needs, who may need to take tests in a way that suits them. That’s why we use AI to create more accessible tests to allow them to show what they can really do! Watch Dr Mariano Felice, Senior Researcher and Data Scientist at the British Council, in our first ‘AI in Assessment’ video to find out more. ⬇️ #BritishCouncilAssessment #AIEducation #ArtificialIntelligence #Accessibility #SpecialEducationalNeeds #LearnEnglish #TeachEnglish #EnglishTests #PrimaryEnglishTest
