Researcher's Corner
Kaleidoprax welcomes research to contribute to keeping the ELSA relevant in both the fields of education and the workplace. We encourage use of the ELSA (English Literacy Skills Assessment) as a measuring instrument in research projects. We also like to collect information on all research projects where ELSA was used to publish on the Kaleidoprax website, thereby providing access to such valuable information not only to other researchers but also to our customers. Should you wish to participate in this project, please be so kind as to contact us.
