Abstract
What next? Language teaching and assessment in 2030 and beyond From Grammar-Translation to Audio-Visual to Communicative methodologies – language learning, teaching and assessment has always been an evolving discipline. But it is probably not an over-statement to say that the events of recent years have accelerated change in a way that no one could have imagined. The pandemic has forced us to re-think how we teach and learn – and what we teach and learn. Necessity forced many to embrace new digital technologies and all the signs suggest that many of the changes that we had to make are now here to stay. So, what will language learning, teaching and assessment look like in 2030 and beyond? How will new technologies such as AR, VR and Open AI impact teachers and learners? What role will AI play? And will it eventually replace the need for teachers altogether? This session will address these questions with reference to recent research from Pearson and other organizations and outline what we at Pearson are doing to support teachers and learners today and in the future.
