The Assessment Research (AR) hub contributes to English Language Research (ELR) work by leading on assessment research and devising the overall assessment strategy for ELR.
The AR hub is responsible for developing, validating and supporting existing British Council assessment products and also fostering innovation in new products. The AR hub generates and disseminates research that builds the British Council’s reputation as a center of assessment expertise, and advises on assessment issues for national and regional education reform projects globally.
The AR hub supports the alignment of assessment with teaching and learning goals, working as part of ELR in collaboration with teams across the British Council, including English and Exams and English Programmes.
