Credible research about source text selection is essential to interpreting education and assessment. Expanding our understanding about source texts that most effectively elicit quality interpretations can enhance teaching, and more importantly, learner success. How do we effectively elicit the interpreting skills we’re trying to analyze? What do effective interpretations look like? This presentation combines interaction and knowledge-sharing to engage participants in the most recent findings and practical applications of our research.
