Abstract:

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.
