> Integrating Technology and Assessment for Language Teaching and Learning
> Advances in technology and developments in the field of language assessment
> come together in this CLEAR workshop, which is designed for teachers of all
> languages. The overall goal is to show how technology facilitates
> assessment, and how assessment in turn facilitates learning. In short,
> assessment facilitates learning when it provides feedback that is relevant
> and timely. This workshop introduces easy-to-use technology that can help to
> make this happen.
> 
> This workshop will provide you with the skills to create online assessment
> activities for reading, writing, listening and speaking. Special emphasis
> will be placed on aligning these assessments with state and national
> standards and the particular curricular objectives of your language program.
> At the end of the workshop, you will be able to conduct online assessment
> activities with your students and provide them with feedback that they can
> use to develop their language skills. There are no technical prerequisites,
> other than basic familiarity with computers. The workshop will be offered in
> one of MSU's state-of-the-art computer labs. Bring your own portable
> computer, or use one of our machines. The workshop is hands-on, fast-paced,
> informative, useful, and fun
