  • Publication number: 20210042300
    Abstract: Systems, device configurations, and processes for a server to receive, from a user interface (UI) on a client, a request to generate a list from a selection of: an objective, vocabulary item, and/or grammar point mapped to a range of competency scores, and an audience. The server then selects data records storing data for the objective, vocabulary item or grammar point. The server then renders, for transmission and display on the client, a user interface control including a list of data for the objective, grammar point, and/or vocabulary item.

  • Publication number: 20190385469
    Abstract: Systems, device configurations, and processes for integrating a job profile describing an occupation into a talent management system (TMS) by determining proficiency requirements from job profile data are used to develop validated scores for competency in one or more job skills. The resulting integrated job profiles may be included as a component of TMS job offerings related to the occupation. The systems and methods evaluate parameters of the job profile using a predetermined scoring framework. Particular implementations evaluate English language proficiency in one or more frameworks. A job profile describes the occupation in the form of tasks to be completed by an employee. The systems and methods associate the tasks with scoring parameters in the framework, and calculate an overall score for English proficiency from the collection of scores associated with the tasks.
