Session Abstract
Workshop: “Item Analysis”
This talk will focus on standard setting in general and standard setting in line with the CEFR. We will discuss the need to carry out standard-setting studies for our exams and look at some of the most commonly used standard-setting methods. We will also discuss how CEFR could be of use to us in setting standards not only for standardised exams but also for formative assessment, especially with its action-oriented approach that has gained much more importance since the launch of the CEFR Companion Volume in 2018.
Dr. Elif Kantarcıoğlu is currently working at Bilkent University School of English Language as the Director of the English Language Preparatory Program. She completed her BSc and MA studies in English Language Teaching at Middle East Technical University. She completed her PhD on Validation and CEFR at Roehampton University in 2012. She has been involved in language assessment for over 20 years and her areas of interest include test design, validation, test analysis techniques, Item Response Theory, many-facet Rasch measurement and CEFR linking.
