Abstract:

While assessment and autonomy are areas that have been extensively explored in
relation to EFL and foreign language learning in general, the nature of the
relationship between the two has not been given the coverage that one might
expect. This book examines this contested relationship from a number of
perspectives in a variety of Higher Education language-learning contexts in
Europe and the Far East. The contributors to the book, all teacher-researchers
with direct experience of the issues and challenges involved, describe
research into assessment both for and as autonomy, as well as approaches to
the assessment of autonomy itself. The chapters explore how assessment can be
used to promote and increase autonomy through learner involvement in
assessment processes. Addressing a range of challenges to both autonomy in
assessment and the assessment of autonomy, the book also provides practical
models, tools and techniques for putting these ideas into practice, which can
be adapted to other teaching contexts beyond language learning.
