ASSESSMENTS FOR JAPANESE LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION
July 10-13, 2012
University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii

Website: http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/prodev/si12j/

This four-day NFLRC summer institute (July 10-13, 2012) is intended for 
postsecondary Japanese language educators who wish to promote good assessment 
practices in their home institutions. It consists of lecture as well as 
hands-on sessions designed to help improve their theoretical knowledge and 
practical skills about assessments (including testing). To this end, the 
workshop will provide ample authentic assessment examples in various formats 
and procedures to assess learning outcomes in Japanese in classroom and 
program-level settings. The workshop will also cover portfolio assessments for 
Japanese language teacher training programs. After attending the workshop, 
participants will be better prepared to engage in effective formative and 
summative assessments for Japanese language instruction and teacher training in 
their home institutions.

If you are interested in participating in the Assessments for Japanese Language 
Instruction Summer Institute, please submit your ONLINE APPLICATION FORM BY 
JANUARY 31, 2012.
