No British Council acreditamos que o desenvolvimento e aprendizado da língua inglesa e suas tendências não são estáticos, mas sim um conjunto de práticas em constante evolução.
Por isso, em maio deste ano, realizamos a conferência New Directions Latam 2023, evento que reuniu especialistas para debater tendências e abordagens na avaliação da língua inglesa sob perspectivas nacionais e internacionais.
No British Council não queremos que todo o aprendizado desses dois dias de evento fique restrito a aquele momento. E é por isso que queremos continuar a conversa com este magnífico webinar.

At the British Council, we believe that the development and learning of the English language and its trends are not static; instead, it is a living concomitant that changes the more it is practised.
That is why, in May 2023, we held the New Directions Latam 2023 conference, an international event that brought together specialists who provide international and national perspectives on trends and approaches in English language assessment.
At the British Council, we want everything learned in this event to be shared, and that is why we want to continue the conversation with this magnificent webinar.
Abstract
AI in action! Transforming how we assess young learners
As technology becomes central to the lives of younger generations, using AI to enhance their education seems a natural choice. Children today are comfortable and adept at using technology, so this familiarity can be harnessed to create more engaging and effective assessment tools. To demonstrate this potential, this session will focus on the development of an AI-powered test for young learners, using the British Council’s Primary English Test as a case study.
This talk will cover the entire process behind the development of auto-scoring models, from data collection to model training, emphasizing the decisions that must be made at each stage to ensure fair and accurate results. This includes choosing appropriate speech recognition models, implementing anomaly detection mechanisms and providing an engaging environment through gamification. This talk will also address crucial ethical considerations and the importance of continuous human oversight during test development and delivery.
