The organizational competence scale is an important part of the China Scale of English. Organizational knowledge includes grammatical knowledge and textural knowledge, and also includes learning strategies of organizational knowledge. To be specific, organizational knowledge encompasses knowledge of phonology/graphology, knowledge of vocabulary, knowledge of syntax, knowledge of cohesion, and knowledge of rhetorical or conversational organization. Being use-oriented and focusing on the functions of language, the organizational competence scale describes criterial features of organizational knowledge in nine levels. CSE will bring a profound impact on the English language teaching, learning and assessment in China. However, currently there has been relatively insufficient discussion on how the organizational competence scale is applied in college English teaching and assessment. This symposium focuses on the application of the organizational competence scale in college English teaching and assessment, covering the three language skills of reading, writing, and speaking. From the formulation of teaching objectives, the design of evaluation plans, and the empirical research on the alignment between linguistic features and descriptors of the scale, this symposium will offer some inspiration for teachers and scholars interested in this filed.

According to PISA (2018), global competence refers to students’ abilities to critically examine local and global issues, understand and appreciate different perspectives, take responsible actions. Effective education for global competence gives students opportunity to integrate the four dimensions of it, namely, knowledge, skills, attitudes and values, together. This symposium intends to focus on the dimension of thinking skills and discuss how to develop high school students’ logical thinking, critical thinking and problem-solving skills in order to foster their deeper understanding of the world and be well prepared to meet the challenge of the interconnected, diverse and rapidly changing world.
