Dynamic Assessment (DA) reconceptualizes classroom interactions by
arguing that teaching and assessment should not be distinct
undertakings but must be integrated as a single activity that seeks
to understand learner abilities by actively supporting their
ongoing development. DA is based in the Vygotskian notion of the
Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) which captures the uniquely
human potential to exceed our present capabilities by working in
cooperation with others whose dialogic interaction mediates us to
higher levels of functioning. DA offers a framework for
co-constructing a ZPD with learners in order to simultaneously
reveal the full range of their abilities and promote development.
This book presents the first in-depth analysis of DA's application
to particular problems of L2 development. It includes detailed
discussions of the core theoretical tenets as well as guidelines
for implementing DA principles in L2 classrooms. The book will be
of interest to language teacher educators, language testers,
classroom practitioners, and students and researchers in the areas
of SLA, language pedagogy, and assessment.
