I'm back!

Hello again!
I'm back home now after a busy day in Madrid yesterday.

I flew down yesterday morning and spent some time catching up with my daughters, who both study down there.

Then in the afternoon, I went to the Colegio Sagrada Familia to meet up with lots of people for the trialling of the Computer Based Young Learners Tests.

The project involves people from several parts of the world.  Project partners from Hong Kong, China and Cambridge English: Language Assessment in the UK had come to tell us about the project and we were also given the chance to see a Computer Based Movers Test in action, with a group of students from Colegio Sagrada Familia.

The Young Learners Tests are already Cambridge English Language Assessment's most visually attractive range of exams.  They use colour pictures as the stimulus for most of the tasks.  The visuals are being updated to make them even more attractive to Young Learners.

Seeing the test and the visuals in digital, interactive format makes them even more attractive, especially to school students.  The group we saw took a Movers Test.  Some of them were taking the test on a PC, others on an i-pad.  They obviously enjoyed themselves!  I had a go myself and liked the experience!

So, it's back down to work here in Cantabria before I head off to Malaga tomorrow!!!!
