Assessment for teens can be more than practice for a test — it can prepare them for real-life communication and global opportunities. This webinar offers innovative ways to weave assessment into dynamic, real-world learning experiences while still equipping students with the skills they need for international English exam success. We will explore how to connect assessment tasks to students’ interests, embed authentic topics, and promote self-reflection and peer collaboration. Teachers will leave with activities from Impact that strengthen language skills, build 21st century skills, and help teens see assessment as a motivating and meaningful part of their learning journey.
