Testing for Language Teachers Arthur HughesRajputt Ainee Testing is done for various purposes such as verifying that a product meets requirements, managing risk, and assessing knowledge or skills. The main purposes of testing are to verify that specifications are met and to manage risks. Tests can have negative effects if not aligned with learning objectives, and inaccuracies can arise from flawed test content or unreliable scoring techniques. Effective testing requires quality assurance and validation to catch errors before public release. Assessment includes formative assessment for immediate feedback and summative assessment for end-of-period evaluation. Teachers can help improve testing by writing better tests, educating others, and advocating for testing improvements.

It defines teaching as passing on accepted information to help students achieve objectives, while tests assess if objectives were achieved. Tests can positively or negatively influence teaching through "washback effect" - the extent tests impact what teachers and students do. Positive washback includes focusing on objectives and motivating learning, while negative includes ignoring untested topics and "teaching to the test." Good tests are valid, reliable, practical, comprehensive, and balanced assessments that provide useful feedback for students and help teachers identify strengths and weaknesses.

Part 1: Lesson Plan Analysis
What is the academic standard?
To utilize information gained from illustrations such as maps and photographs and the words in text to illustrate comprehension of the text. This entails identifying when, where and how major events occur.
· What is the learning objective?
At the end of the lesson students should be able to explain the importance of illustration in understanding a text. They should be able to utilize the pictures and words in the text to illustrate their comprehension of material with an accuracy of 80%.
· Are the standard and objective aligned? How do you know? Provide a rationale.
The standard and objective are entirely aligned. To determine whether standards and objective are aligned, one is supposed to determine to what level the learning objectives support and interact with the academic standards (Estes, 2015). The academic standards pay attention on utilization of illustrations to understand a text and the learning objectives support this because they focus on students being able to explain the importance of illustrations in comprehending a text.
· What is the lesson about? What does this lesson cover?
The lesson is about a medieval feast study. It focusses on reading information text. Students are supposed to utilize illustrations and words acquired from the Medieval Feast text to illustrated their understanding of the text.
· Do the assessments effectively measure the academic standard and learning objective? Justify your response.
The assessments adequately measure the academic standard and learning objective. Assessments adequately measure standards and objectives in case they are able to determine how well students have mastered what they were taught in the classroom (York, 2017). By completing a vocabulary activity, the instructor will be able to evaluate the results and determine how well the students mastered the concepts taught in class. By developing a list of vocabulary words and trying to determine their meanings, the instructor will be able to determine the areas students have understood and areas that he/she should teach.

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025

Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.
