Assessment of language teachers’ profession-related language competences

This project develops empirically based instruments and processes for the summative assessment of profession-related language competences for primary and secondary school teachers (French, Italian and English as foreign languages).

It includes an analysis of existing assessment practices, the specification of a profession-specific leaving examination with appropriate examination tasks, and the piloting and empirical validation of the examinations. The project results will serve as a basis for a broad-based certification of professional language competences in the context of teacher education.
