New Approaches to Assessing Language and (Inter-)Cultural Competences in Higher Education / Nouvelles approches de l'evaluation des competences langagieres et (inter-)culturelles dans l'enseignement superieur (English, French, Hardcover, New edition)

Assessment is omnipresent and multifaceted in contemporary institutions of higher education. This collection provides a sound and revealing overview of language and (inter-)cultural assessment practices in European higher education and beyond (Australia, China and Japan). It addresses mainly the following questions: What sort of assessment is taking place? What purposes does it serve? What representations do teaching staff and learners have of assessing language and (inter-)cultural competences in higher education? The chapters were first presented at the bilingual conference (English and French) Assessing language and (inter-)cultural competences in Higher Education at Turku University (Finland) in 2007. L'evaluation est un phenomene multiforme et omnipresent dans l'enseignement superieur. Ce volume collectif propose un large eventail d'articles, qui passent en revue les pratiques d'evaluation en didactique des langues dans les systemes educatifs europeens mais aussi en Australie, en Chine et au Japon. Les auteurs s'interrogent sur les questions suivantes : quels types d'evaluation sont mis en oeuvre dans le superieur ? Dans quels buts ? Quelles representations les enseignants et les apprenants ont-ils de l'evaluation des competences langagieres et interculturelles ? Les textes qui constituent l'ouvrage ont ete presentes au colloque intitule Evaluation des competences langagieres et (inter-)culturelles dans l'enseignement superieur, organise par l'Universite de Turku (Finlande) en 2007.
