The specific-and varied-ways in which assessment and evaluation can
impact learning and teaching have become an important language
education research concern, particularly as educators are
increasingly called on to implement these processes for
improvement, accountability, or curricular development purposes.
Useful Assessment and Evaluation in Language Education showcases
contemporary research that explores innovative uses of assessment
and evaluation in a variety of educational contexts. Divided into
three parts, this volume first examines theoretical considerations
and practical implementations of assessment conducted for the
purpose of enhancing and developing language learning. Part 2
addresses novel assessment development and implementation projects,
such as the formative use of task-based assessments,
technology-mediated language performance assessment, validation of
educational placement tests for immigrant learners, and the use of
assessment to help identify neurolinguistic correlates of
proficiency. The final section of the book highlights examples of
argument-based approaches to assessment and evaluation validation,
extending this critical framework to quality assurance efforts in
new domains. Adding to research on traditional and conventional
uses of testing and evaluation in language education, this volume
captures innovative trends in assessment and evaluation practice
that explicitly aim to better inform and enhance language teaching
and learning.
Why assess? And what will I do with the results? This book examines
classroom assessment (not standardized assessment) through the
lenses of three ESL teachers from across the United States. The
teachers face a number of challenges particular to their individual
situations, and other challenges common to all U.S. public school
teachers. Most important, this book views teachers as the people
best able to make their students successful. The decisions they
make about assessments in the areas of literacy, oral language, and
content-specific language development result in actionable
information. Short reflections, jargon sidebars, and chapter
activities make this an enjoyable, user-friendly resource for
teachers in any classroom.
