Global universities will collaborate on language assessment research

2/5/13

Penn State liberal arts and education faculty will be partners in the new World Universities Network Language Assessment Research Network (LARN), along with six other universities from China, United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia. WUN is providing major funding, with matching support from each participating university, for a total of nearly $70,000.

LARN will be the first research network on language assessment in the world that brings together research-intensive universities at this scale. The member institutions will collaborate on a wide range of research areas, practices, and outreach in the study of language assessment, which requires expertise in linguistics, statistics, psychology, psychometrics, human learning and instruction, and assessment technologies, just to name a few.

Svalbard,a chain of islands between Norway and the North Pole, has served as a base for whaling, coal mining and Arctic expeditions since the 17th century. And, it is the base for a team of Penn State and European scientists who are conducting an intensive study of Arctic climate changes through the auspices of the Worldwide Universities Network. WUN is a leading global research and education partnership with more than 3,000 faculty and student researchers at 18 universities on four continents. More than 20 WUN academic communities of scientists are sharing ideas for future joint projects and potential funding or student and faculty exchanges. Some Penn State initiatives include Arctic climate research, nanomanufacturing and helicopter rotor design.
