DESCRIPTION:Cambridge University set its first exam in English for speaker
 s of other languages in 1913. More than 100 years later Cambridge Assessme
 nt English reaches more than 5 million learners a year. A learning-oriente
 d approach to assessment is key to successful language learning as is lear
 ners' engagement\, time and motivation.  Building those conditions for suc
 cess is where innovation is happening at pace: digital technology and coll
 aboration between disciplines is creating a new language learning ecology.
   That ecology is changing how learners learn\, teachers teach and Cambrid
 ge English tests.  In this talk I will outline how the combination of the 
 communicative approach to language learning and new technology allows us t
 o reach more learners in a way which fits with the learners’ needs and e
 veryday lives without compromising learning outcomes.
