Kari Sajavaara memorial lecture Fri, 20 January 2023 – talk by Professor Luke Harding
The Finnish Network for Language Education Policies (Kieliverkosto) and Centre for Applied Language Studies (JYU) are organizing the annual Kari Sajavaara memorial lecture on Friday 20 January from 12 pm to 2.30 pm in the Old Festival Hall (S212) in Seminarium building in Seminaarinmäki, University of Jyväskylä.
Professor, PhD Luke Harding (Lancaster University) has been invited as the keynote speaker. The title of his lecture is: New directions in assessing spoken language: Exploring communicative constructs
Harding’s description about the lecture: In the talk I will make an argument that spoken constructs are changing (providing some examples), and that we should keep pace with this change (surveying different research directions), and specifically argue that it is important to bring a focus on pragmatic meaning-making to the fore in speaking assessment (focusing on some empirical work I have been involved with using corpus techniques). I will also touch on teacher assessment literacy in the context of assessing spoken language.
Luke Harding is a professor in Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University (UK). His research interests are in applied linguistics and language assessment, particularly assessing listening and speaking, World Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca, and language assessment literacy. Luke’s research has been published in journals such as Applied Linguistics, Language Assessment Quarterly, Language Teaching, and Language Testing. He is the co-editor, with Glenn Fulcher, of the second edition of the Routledge Handbook of Language Testing. Luke has performed consultancy work on language assessment for various government and non-profit organisations. He was previously a member of the TOEFL Committee of Examiners and is currently a member of the British Council’s Assessment Advisory Board. Luke is nearing the end of a five-year term as co-editor, with Paula Winke, of the journal Language Testing.
After the lecture, two awards bearing the name of Kari Sajavaara will be given out; one for a scientifically meritorious doctoral thesis and the other for socially significant work done in the field.
Coffee and tea will be served. The event is multilingual: in English (the lecture) and in Finnish (awards).
If you cannot make it to the event, the lecture will also be live streamed online, and the recording can be watched later. Link to the stream will be sent through email closer to the event.
Please register by Wed, 11, Jan in Webropol, whether you participate online or in person. Link: https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/0129BADD627F2A2A
