We will start this webinar by exploring what reading comprehension consists of and what we do in real life when we read. This will be the basis for addressing key questions such as: Which aspects of reading comprehension should we test? What kind of texts and tasks should be used? How should responses be scored? We will also consider the role that language proficiency of the intended test takers plays in answering these questions.

Presenters: Ivana Vidakovic and Dennis Carr

This is very helpful. I have one question though.. What is the connection between the sub skills and the cognitive processes of reading? How are sub skills and cognitive processes reflected in 1 particular task. For example, for a question that requires readers to read between the line, what specific sub skill is activated here when we read between the line ( which is a cognitive process). Thank you.
