At this conference, DUOLINGO’s chief researcher Anthony Kunnan gave a presentation on “Ethical Standards for Large-scale Assessment.” In addition, Yi Yong-won, the director of Seoul National University’s TEPS Center took the chair to have a discussion on the theme of “the necessity and the direction of new assessment” with Professor Choi Eun-gyu of Seoul National University Language Education Center, Professor Kim Jae-wook of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Dean Yi Hee-kyung of International Affairs at Korea University, ETS researcher Mikyung Kim Wolf, and Senior Researcher Yi Hye-won of Cambridge Assessment English.

In addition, Professor Yi Won-kyung of Incheon National University and Professor Park Jin-wook of Daegu Catholic University gave lectures and workshops on ▲ conducting and scoring of Goethe-Zertifikat German Language Proficiency Test and ▲ the speaking evaluation in the KSI basic curriculum achievement evaluation, respectively.
A Korean language teacher who participated in the workshop said, “I was able to face the professional contents of evaluation that I could not find at other academic conferences. Although I am not a native speaker, I've got a vision as a Korean assessor.”
President Kang Hyounhwa of KSIF said, “Starting with this academic conference, we will do our best on the assessment as education. In 2022, we plan to have an international conference on language assessment with the topic of technology development and language assessment.”
