This book advocates that teachers should play an active role in
high-stakes language testing and that more weight should be given
to teacher judgement. This is likely to increase the formative
potential of high-stakes tests and provide teachers with a sense of
ownership. The implication is that the knowledge and skills they
develop by being involved in these tests will feed into their own
classroom practices. The book also considers the arguments against
teacher involvement, e.g. the contention that teacher involvement
might entrench the practice of teaching to the test, or that
teachers should not be actively involved in high-stakes language
testing because their judgement is insufficiently reliable. Using
contributions from a wide range of international educational
contexts, the book proposes that a lack of reliability in teacher
judgement is best addressed by means of training and not by barring
educators from participating in high-stakes language testing. It
also argues that their involvement in testing helps teachers to
bolster confidence in their own judgement and develop their
assessment literacy. Moreover, teacher involvement empowers them to
play a role in reforming high-stakes language testing so that it is
more equitable and more likely to enhance classroom practices.
High-stakes language tests that adopt such an inclusive approach
facilitate more effective learning on the part of teachers, which
ultimately benefits all their students.
