Abstract:

With the expansion of online language learning opportunities, language
teachers and learners are presented with an increasingly diverse range of
tools to facilitate language learning in various contexts. However, CALL
researchers and practitioners often have limited knowledge about the
effectiveness of online language learning primarily due to a lack of research
on online language learning outcomes and on valid assessment measures. 

Despite the challenges in assessing language learning online, the editors of
this volume believe the wide range of online language learning opportunities
has brought new tools and methods to both strengthen assessment and inform
pedagogical decisions in online language teaching. In terms of assessment,
technology first provides researchers and practitioners with more options to
document learners’ language use in different contexts and their progress over
time. The instances of learners’ actual use of language will complement any
achievement and proficiency measures of language learning outcomes. Moreover,
the use of technology motivates researchers and practitioners to
re-conceptualize assessment of online language learning. More importantly,
technologies make it possible for the assessment to be incorporated for the
purpose of learning (e.g., adaptive learning) and teaching (e.g.,
technology-mediated dynamic assessment and teacher intervention). 

"Assessment Across Online Language Education" examines these challenges
emerged in online language teaching and learning, explores the new
opportunities for language teachers and learners, and provides suggestions for
future research on assessment and learning in online language education.
