CTHRC Offers Insight on Canadian Language Benchmarks
November 05 2009
On October 15 and 16, 2009, CTHRC attended The Canadian Centre for Language Benchmarks/Centre des niveaux de competence linguistique canadiens (CCLB/CNCLC) National Forum on the Canadian Language Benchmarks 2000 (CLB) and the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens 2006 (NCLC) in Ottawa. CTHRC is one of the sector councils that has a current working relationship with the CCLB/CNCLC and was one of two sector councils represented at the Forum. CTHRC’s attendance allowed it to offer insight and make recommendations regarding the CLB’s use and the value it has in the employment sector, which presents opportunities to expand beyond the CLB’s current primary focus in the educational environment. The Forum was also attended by the CCLB/CNCLC board of directors and key stakeholders and was the final part of an eight-month consultation process to validate recommendations that had come out of previous sessions. Key stakeholders were invited to provide feedback on the CLB/NCLC to help the board of directors develop the strategic directions that will support the successful evolution of the CLB/NCLC.
