Oxford University Centre for Educational Assessment (OUCEA) presents a look into the future of assessment featuring guest speakers. The guest speakers this year include Professor Art Graesser, a long-standing visiting professor and champion of OUCEA. Art Graesser is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychology and the Institute of Intelligent Systems at the University of Memphis, and Honorary Research Fellow at The University of Oxford. His talk will be followed by reflections from two guest speakers, Enterprise Professor Sandra Milligan, Director of the Assessment Research Centre at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne, and our own Deputy Director of OUCEA, Associate Professor Joshua McGrane.
Professor Therese N. Hopfenbeck, Director of OUCEA, will convene the seminar. Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales; http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/uk/

Lexical diversity and coverage in tertiary-level STEM: a corpus-based comparison of English-medium lectures in Anglophone and non-Anglophone contexts
Jessica Briggs, Centre for Research and Development in English Medium Instruction, University of Oxford, gives a talk for the EMI conference. The rapid growth of EMI in the tertiary sector raises some interesting questions for the Applied Linguistics and TESOL communities. For example, how and to what extent are English-medium lectures in Anglophone and non-Anglophone contexts comparable? If an L2-English user decides to study at an English-medium university, will their academic achievement be a ected if they choose an EMI setting over an L1-English setting? Crucially, without big data on EMI classroom practices we are unable to provide a rm basis on which future research into EMI can be built.
In this talk I will be presenting findings from a corpus-based research project which sought to open the door to the EMI lecture room to determine whether there are differences in the vocabulary usage pro les of EMI and L1-English lectures; to pinpoint where those differences lie; and to draw implications for students, researchers and practitioners who are engaged in English-medium tertiary education.
