assessment. Written in response to two recent movements in language
teaching--learner-centered teaching and a renewed interest in
authenticity in language testing--it examines the relationship
between the language learner and language assessment processes, and
promotes approaches to assessment that involve the learner in the
testing process. Particular attention is given to issues of
reliability and validity. Grounded in current pedagogical
applications of authentic assessment measures, this volume is
intended for and eminently accessible to classroom teachers and
program directors looking for ways to include their students in the
evaluation process, graduate students, and professional language
testers seeking authenticity in assessment and desiring to create
more interactive evaluation tools.
