Benefits of Online Testing for Summative and Formative Assessment
In this presentation, we examine the features of summative and formative assessment that might be involved in an exam course, and analyse oxfordenglishtesting.com – an innovative online testing service – for its ability to support these areas of assessment. If you’ve ever felt that getting through those pile of tests is just a little too much for you on top of all the other demands of a modern English teacher, then this talk will help to lift the weight from your shoulders. Learn how oxfordenglishtesting frees up teachers to teach by providing an efficient system for Testing Students, Tracking Progress and Recording Results. You will see how institutions, teachers and students can benefit from the Oxford Online Placement Test, Practice Tests and the Oxford English Testing Learning Management System.

The two ends of the spectrum
On the face of it the Beginner and Advanced levels would seem to have little in common. However our experience of writing these two levels back to back has shown us that certain preconceived ideas that we have as teachers about these two levels may be less true than we think. In this talk we will be looking at some of these ideas, and questioning their validity. Examples to illustrate the conclusions that we reached will be taken from New English File Beginner (published 2009) and New English File Advanced (to be published in 2010).

Mark Hancock
Teaching as Attention Management
In order for our teaching to be motivating and effective, we need to manage our students' attention. First of all, we need to attract their attention through the materials and topics we present. Secondly, we need to maintain their attention through the tasks we ask them to do. Thirdly, we need to direct their attention to those aspects of language and learning which will help them to make progress. In this talk, we will look at the ways we propose to reach these three objectives in English Result.

Improving key performance areas for Business English students
Research on Oxford University Press’ new five-level Business English course suggested that the key areas for improvement amongst Business English students, both at work and in higher education were communication skills, written accuracy and vocabulary. In order to work in English advanced students need to be operational in four areas; Presenting, Telephoning, Meetings and Negotiating. Their vocabulary needs to be extensive with a full range of common collocates. In terms of writing their grammatical knowledge needs to be reflected in email, letters and reports.
Using extracts from Business Result Upper-Intermediate and Advanced and the interactive CDs which accompany this series the workshop will investigate:
how grammar and vocabulary can be presented in an authentic context how speaking underpins a communicative syllabus
how to practise brainstorming, briefing and impromptu presentations how to get learners closer to native speaker levels
how to use case studies effectively how to plan and monitor self-study efficiently. We will also look at the speaking tests provided at each level and discuss their usefulness as teaching aids and assessment tools.
The workshop will provide a full presentation of Business Result and all its components.

Mark Hancock
I started teaching English in Sudan in 1984. Since then, I’ve worked in Turkey, Brazil and Spain. In 1996 I completed my Msc in Teaching English with Aston University. My first book was Pronunciation Games (CUP 1995). Since then, I’ve written Singing Grammar (CUP; 1998), English Pronunciation in Use (CUP 2003) and co-written Pen Pictures (OUP 1999), as well as a course book series for Spanish secondary New Ways to Go (CUP) and Polish upper primary Winners (OUP). I'm currently working on English Result, a 4-level general English course for adults (OUP 2008). My approach to teaching and materials writing is to try to creatively engage the students' interest and motivate them.
