Summative/Certificative Listening Evaluation in Intercomprehension Teaching

Abstract

In light of a general reflection on the criteria for an assessment process, we will focus on the evaluation of plurilingual competencies in Intercomprehension and, in particular, on oral listening skills, by observing best practices in unilingual official certifications, and by taking an approach that goes from the general to the particular. We will reflect on the concrete tools for measuring this hability, by discussing the choices of the CINCO and EVAL-IC projects – the first European project to tackle the question of evaluation under all its angles – with the goal of defining the contours of an assessment method taking into account the plurality of its possible forms.
