Introduction

Global Perspectives on Effective Assessment in English Language Teaching.

English language programs depend on effective assessment to measure student proficiency for purposes of placement, advancement, and completion. A variety of approaches may be adopted depending on the program, its objectives, and the students it serves. Teachers and administrators in many contexts may also be required to meet institutional accountability expectations, often externally imposed and related to accreditation standards. The need for appropriate and accurate assessment of student learning, whether internally sought or externally required, provides the opportunity for teachers and administrators to consider current practices, implement reforms, and, as a result of ongoing assessment findings, improve student learning through curricular change, teacher training, and modification of classroom practice. The goal of this volume is to provide a resource for teachers and administrators in the area of assessment practices and processes. The volume seeks to explore possible approaches, models, principles, and techniques related to effective assessment at the classroom and program levels. It will reflect current theory, address the topic of assessment and accountability movements within the context of English language learning, and be of practical value to classroom teachers, administrators, and teacher educators.

Objective

The goal of this volume is to provide a resource for teachers and administrators in the area of assessment practices and processes. The volume seeks to explore possible approaches, models, principles, and techniques related to effective assessment at the classroom and program levels. It will reflect current theory, address the topic of assessment and accountability movements within the context of English language learning, and be of practical value to classroom teachers, administrators, and teacher educators. Assessment is one of the main, albeit not the most popular components of English Language Programs. This is true from the perspectives of both teachers and learners. Assessment fulfills important school requirements in many areas of English language teaching, whether English as a foreign language, as a second language, or for academic purposes. There are many different ways to assess learners, and the more a teacher is familiar with, the better this aspect can be integrated into English lessons. This applies to all learners, yet it is especially important for language minority learners. These learners are often unfamiliar with testing methods used in countries other than those from which they originate, and they are often incapable of displaying their complete abilities during one session.

Target Audience

The audience for this volume is primarily classroom teachers and administrators in English language programs within higher education, private language schools, and other contexts. The book would also be of value in teacher education programs to train pre-service teachers in effective assessment techniques and increase awareness of current issues.

Recommended Topics

Language program evaluation; curriculum alignment (planning, teaching, assessment); authentic assessment; alternative assessment; self and peer assessment in the classroom; individual and group work assessment; language and content instruction assessment; test preparation; washback in bilingual education; computerized assessment in language programs.
