Communication in a globalised world: English is necessary but not sufficient
- 👤 Speaker: Dr Nick Saville - Director of the Research and Validation Group, Cambridge English Language Assessment
- 📅 Date & Time: Tuesday 04 November 2014, 17:45 - 19:15
- 📍 Venue: Gatsby Room, Wolfson College
Abstract
Cambridge English Language Assessment tests more than 5 million learners of English in over 100 countries every year and this constitutes a major asset in delivering the University’s educational mission around the world. However, a key question for Cambridge English is how to promote the wider use of English while at the same time supporting the learning and uses of many other languages – hence the title of the talk. Dr Saville will discuss this issue of “multilingualism” – a research theme within the University’s interdisciplinary Language Sciences Initiative (LSI) – as well as more generally illustrate the work of Cambridge English Language Assessment.
Series This talk is part of the Wolfson College Humanities Society talks series.
