This presentation showcases Trinity College London's transformation of their English language assessment through the implementation of multi-stage adaptive testing in their ISE Digital Assessment. The session follows their journey from identifying specific challenges to implementing an innovative solution that delivers "the right challenge at the right time" for each candidate.
Trinity representatives will explain how they needed a solution that could accurately assess four skills (reading, listening, writing, and speaking) while ensuring candidates only encountered content appropriate to their proficiency level. They'll share how traditional linear tests often presented candidates with content either too difficult or too simple, limiting accurate assessment of their true abilities.
The presentation will then demonstrate the technical implementation that addressed these requirements, focusing on the ISE Digital Assessment's setup process, assessment flow, and resulting analytics capabilities. Attendees will discover how this assessment integrates skills and focuses on real-life communication scenarios rather than isolated grammar points, and how this approach positively influences teaching practices by encouraging educators to develop students' paraphrasing abilities, proper referencing skills, and meaningful language synthesis.
Join us to learn how this innovative solution enhanced assessment validity, improved candidate experience by presenting appropriately challenging content, positively impacted classroom teaching, and supported Trinity's international growth strategy through a consistent, scalable digital assessment approach.
