Objectives |
The course aims to explore unique characteristics of language tests and to provide students with conceptual foundations in developing and using language tests. In this course, students are expected to practice different processes of constructing valid, practical, and reliable language tests, to investigate limitations and advantages of various formats available for testing different language skills, and eventually to construct valid and reliable test items for use in the language classrooms. Students will be able to (1) clearly frame fundamental principles for evaluating and designing assessment procedures of all kinds; (2) focus on the most common pedagogical challenge: classroom-based assessment; (3) conduct thorough discussion of large-scale standardized tests: their purpose, design, validity and utility; (4) make a comprehensive presentation of alternatives in assessment, namely, portfolios, journals, and self-assessment and peer-assessment. |
