The symposium
The symposium aimed to explore how to include intercultural learning assessment within the IEREST teaching resources. Even though assessment was not originally among the project objectives, reflections about how to assess mobile students’ intercultural learning have developed with IEREST from the very beginning. During this final project event, the IEREST partners reflected on the results through the lens of assessment issues. The project objectives, methods, and materials were showcased and commented together with international experts of language and intercultural learning, HEIs representatives, international offices, researchers and academics, teachers and students.
