The action, realized with the participation of the GIAM research group, aims to develop and test an accessible and inclusive model for assessing language proficiency that can be useful for the language certification required at HE level. This model, designed according to the combined use of educational assessment strategies, various formative and summative assessment approaches together with the integration of diverse and specific technological tools (in line with the UDL principles), will be able to respond to the increasingly urgent need to design inclusive and accessible test for language proficiency.
Results expected at the end of the five-year period: accessible and inclusive model for foreign languages testing that can be used in University Language Centers (CLA).
Process that allows to lead to these results: following the results of the teaching experiment of the GIAM project, we will proceed with the design (phase 1), experimentation and validation of an inclusive model of testing (phase 2); dissemination of the results with the scientific community (phase 3).
Innovative aspects: the project intends to apply the innovative studies on inclusive and accessible teaching and the experimental activity of the GIAM research group to the definition of a model which can be concretely adopted by University Language Centers in the language proficiency assessment, by combining new technologies and teaching strategies for the assessment of knowledge.
