Join Gemma Bellhouse and guest speaker Nahal Khabbazbashi for a focused session on inclusive test design across Aptis and wider British Council assessment work.
Gemma will introduce practical examples of EDI-by-design, including updates to the EDI Test Content Policy, Young Learner guidance, and insights from impact studies on Global English accents in Aptis General and FET. They will also highlight what inclusive practices can realistically transfer to classroom-based assessment, with attention to multimodality, cognitive load, sensory access and representation.
Nahal will explore tests as cultural artefacts, examining how race, gender, sexual orientation and cultural context appear in texts, images and scenarios, and the key challenges of designing representative content.
The session concludes with a live panel discussion exploring how accessibility and inclusion can be strengthened across diverse teaching and testing contexts.
