Welcome to the very first episode of our podcast! In this inaugural conversation, Aek and Constant discuss a timely and increasingly urgent question in the field of language assessment:
👉 Why are we talking about locality in second language proficiency assessment right now?
For decades, global frameworks and standardised tests have shaped how proficiency is defined, measured, and valued. But around the world, educators, researchers, and communities are asking bigger, more nuanced questions:
"What does it mean for language proficiency to be local?"
"How do context, culture, and community reshape what “good language use” looks like?"
"Are global proficiency scales enough—or do they overlook important dimensions of local communicative practices?"
In this episode, we explore the shift toward context-sensitive, socially grounded, and locally meaningful approaches to language assessment. We unpack why locality matters now more than ever, especially in multilingual and multicultural societies, and how this focus can lead to more equitable and realistic assessments of language ability.
